The badge of the confraternity showed the Virgin Mary holding her <a href="/wiki/Jesus_Christ" class="mw-redirect" title="Jesus Christ">Son</a> within a crescent moon and surrounded with the rays of the sun, and was hung from a collar of links in the form of elephants much like the present collar of the Order. After the Reformation in 1536 the confraternity died out, but a badge in the form of an elephant with his profile on its right side was still awarded by <a href="/wiki/Frederick_II_of_Denmark_and_Norway" class="mw-redirect" title="Frederick II of Denmark and Norway">Frederick II</a>.<sup id="cite_ref-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> This latter badge may have been inspired by the badge of office of the chaplain of the confraternity which is known to have been in the form of an elephant.

It is about 5 cm high. On its back the elephant is bearing a watch tower of pink enameled masonry encircled by a row of small table cut diamonds at the bottom with another row just below the crenellation at the top.

At the top of the tower is a large enameled gold ring from which the badge can be hung from the collar or tied to the sash of the Order. There are about 72 elephants at the chancery of the Order or in circulation. It is estimated that together with an unknown number of elephants in museums around the world, the total number of the elephants is about a hundred.<sup id="cite_ref-4" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-4"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>4<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup></li> <li>The <i>star</i> of the order is an eight-pointed silver star with smooth rays.
