Additional text identifies the affiliation as EXCELSIOR LODGE No 1082 and HULL & DISTRICT PROVINCE, accompanied by a buffalo horn motif.
The accompanying Roll of Honour jewel is suspended from a light blue ribbon. It features a gold-toned suspension bar in the form of a scroll topped with a crown, inscribed ROLL OF HONOR. The ribbon is mounted with three gold-toned bars representing the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd degrees, with engraved dates 18-10-1970, 12-12-1971, and 20-3-1975 respectively. The pendant is a star-shaped medal with a blue enamel border bearing the Latin motto PALMA NON SINE PULVERE and a central monogram for the RAOB.
