Gotta love a pachyderm! Any idea what the howdahs were made of - not bricks, surely? 

[seano1815]

Thanks for the feedback guys its much appreciated, trying to answer your question Hertsblue, the honest answer is I'm not sure. My personal opinion, would be wood made to look like stone but i'm no expert (only on cartoons ) Have a great week ahead, and enjoy the bank holiday.
All the best

I read somewhere that "bricks" are leather patches sewed together.

According to "Armies of the Macedonian and Punic Wars" by Duncan Head.....That seems to be the most likely answer.

But what does leather look like after 6 months in the Tunisian sun?

Grey and scorched, and probably hard as bricks!

What's grey, has four legs and a trunk?

A mouse going on holiday!

What's brown, has four legs and a trunk?

A mouse returning from holiday!

Get your coat !!

Never thought of leather (not in a military way oooo er misus) but makes more sense, thanks for the info

Brief moment of insanity envisioning Hannibal crossing the Alps with a helium balloon elephant on a bit of ribbon
