Howdah






















I'm going to get myself a real one. Perhaps you should too. (I'm actually selling one. More about that tomorrow) A howdah is a carriage which is positioned on the back of an elephant, or occasionally some other animal, used most often in the past to carry wealthy people or for use in hunting or warfare. It was also a symbol of wealth for the owner, and as a result were decorated with expensive gems.
