Yeah, Michael has it right. The Persian mahouts rode the elephant (while the Carthaginians, coming later in history (if that makes sense), used the tower), and garishly painted their beasts in a similar way.

In fact, this image is downright perfect. I've added it to the Persian Profile for future reference.

@Curu - I suspect the artist either had some kind of generic "elephant" in mind and only vaguely remembered how an Indian elephant should look, or he only had an African elephant reference available. Or heck, maybe it's a hybrid. :D

PS: Heck, even natural genetic variation is bound to produce an Indian elephant with larger ears. :D
