Drees. The decorations consist of a carrier with associated shoulder strap and an order star. The carrying sign has a flower -shaped shape with eight large and eight smaller points in between. The medallion shows a golden, white geemailled elephant turned to the right with carrying saddle on a piedestal, on a golden surface, surrounded with brilliant silver, around which a flower wreath of alternating red and green geemillated points; The downside shows in the medallion in red literary figures and is also identical to the front. The carrying sign hangs with two wing-like decorations on a pagoda-like structure (a crown?) That is crowned with an oval filled with snake-like shapes.
