Tugh or Tukh
I guess this is something like "order" in the Ottoman Turkey. But it may be something else as well.The sentence is: "He made him Pasha with 3 Tugh/Tukhs".

I totally agree with my friend in the following I give a detailed explanation
In Turkish states it has been used as a mark of military and official duties, like the Sultanate, Viziership, Governorship (Beylerbeyligi), Governor of a district (Sancak Beyligi). The Sultan has seven horsetails, The Grand Vizier has five, the Vizier has three, and the Governor of the Districts and Brigadier-Generals (Mirliva) have one horsetail.
