Kusham command elephants?

[Ade G]

Any ideas what an elephant carrying a Kushan commander would look like? Tower, platform or the Indian housings ridden astride? It is about time I painted the figures I have for this army and a search has not been very fruitful.

Khurasan's command elephants are based on a representation (a terracotta?) with tower and plate barding illustrated in Nikonorov's Armies of Bactria book.

Thank you Duncan. I have the Nikorov book but read previously that the plates may have been textile not metal
