the Royal Guards drum skirt
features, at its centre (on the shield), Erawan (“The Three
Headed Elephant”) who, it’s said, carries Indra, the Hindu
god, on its back. It’s also called elephant of the clouds.
The same insignia appears on the Royal Guard’s arms/
sleeve patch, and on the Thai Royal Guards Car patch.

a gold badge of the same design adorns the helmet.
