Insignia Of Rank : Invaluable Heritage Of Thailand.(siam) by
Story : Ratchaneekorn Saengsai
The sunny tone of old intricately-made gold items reflects superior workmanship. These items are valuable assets and considered the heritage of Siam.
In the remote past, many precious utensils, such as boxes for betel nuts, dipping bowls, footed trays, and long-necked water vessels, were symbols of award and insignia of membership bestowed by the queen on royals or aristocrats who made good contributions to the nation. These items are called ‘insignia of membership’, representing the membership of those possessing them.
The insignia of membership were regarded as rewards created by previous kings for members of the imperial household, aristocrats, and officials , whose membership specified their duties and responsibilities. Later, during the reign of King Mongkut (Rama IV) , the insignia were changed to medals, and called imperial decorations. The proprietor of the insignia normally wore them on particular royal ceremonies, such as lofty national audiences. In 1873, King Chulalongkorn (Rama V) created the Order of Chula Chom Klao to be bestowed on royals, aristocrats, and officials. Later, the tradition of presenting insignia of membership to aristocrats and officials was halted, but it has been reserved for members of the imperial household, and no much insignia of membership have been created.
Insignia of rank are divided into seven major types:
Auspicious Items are the insignia of membership bestowed by the queen on persons holding significant posts and presented as propitious items in acknowledgement of their honesty and unity. They include a bosom string, tiny, rolled alloy talisman, rosary with one hundred and eight beads, plumb line, and surround.
Head Adornments are presented to members of the imperial household and high-level officials. For example, a pennant and a pinnacled coronet are reserved for a prince or princess, while hats of distinct shapes are given to high-level officials. As for south-central governors who are Muslims, they are presented with a turban.
Robes are insignia of membership to be ratty for imperial audiences in respective royal ceremonies. They are too bestowed upon officials who constitute the queen in territorial management or those who are honored for their services in times of warfare. This sort of gown is in distinct forms, such as a ranking shirt or robe.
Utensils are insignia for consumption in regular living and bestowed on members of the imperial household, aristocrats, and their entourage. They include a betel egg tray, betel egg corner, long-necked water vessel, a tray for a boiler, a bowl for washing the cheek, cuspidor, and others.
Weapons, considered to be the highest award for recipients, are presented for consumption in warfare and reserved for masculine royals and their entourage. They include a blade, ambiguous Chinese dagger, spear, curved-blade pike, and rifle.
Emblems of higher Estate are presented in respective royal ceremonies to constitute the membership and stance of the recipients and are too used to respect departed persons. They include an umbrella of country, pin, imperial peak, lover and others.
Vehicles are presented to ranking persons who travel on land and by boat. They include a palanquin, seat, and boat.
Apart form these insignia of rank, no new insignia have been issued, except medals marking coronations. Some of these insignia are displayed at the Royal Thai Decoration and Coin Pavilion within the Grand Palace compound in Bangkok. Among the displayed items are the royal insignia of rank bestowed on Her Royal Highness Princess Maha Chakri Sirindhorn. All of them are considered part of our invaluable heritage, reflecting the long history of Thailand, and are well worth viewing.
The Royal Thai Decoration and Coin Pavilion, located on Na Phra Lan Road, open every day, between 9.00 a.m. and 4.00 p.m.
