This is a set of insignia belonging to the Order of the White Elephant, a Thai order of chivalry bestowed upon Willem Drees, the Prime Minister of the Netherlands, before 1959. The set consists of a star-shaped badge with a white elephant in the center, a pendant, and a ribbon. The badges are made of silver with gold accents, and the ribbon is red with green stripes. This set, now in the Rijksmuseum, serves as a reminder of the cultural exchanges between Thailand and the Netherlands.
