Howdah
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A Howdah or Houdah is an ornate carriage which is positioned on the back of elephants or occasionally other animals, used most often in the past for rich people who travelled in India via elephant. Some versions are tented and most have gems or precious metals to adorn them.
In The Lord of the Rings, the Howdah is strapped to the Mûmak and serves as transport for the Haradrim.
