Elephant and Riders on a Bactrian silver disk.
This is probably the main source for the drawing of Fig. 183 Elephants with towers, by Ian Heath in the 1982 edition of 'Armies of the Macedonian and Punic Wars 359BC to 146BC' by Duncan Head.
The tower in the drawing is a lot taller than on the dish. It is difficult to make out the beast on the cloth in the photo.
