Insignia
The insignia was created by Spink & Son and consists of a collar, riband, badge, and star.[3] The ribbon is green with a yellow and red striped border. The badge is a gold eight pointed star with petal shaped points bordered by diamonds. In between each petal is a small point with alternating rubies and emeralds. The center is green enamel with a white enamel border both with gold Arabic calligraphy.[3] The star has the same design but with gold rays between each petal point.[4]
