Hegetor's Ram-Tortoise #5

This view is looking directly at the front of the ram-tortoise.
Note the slanting sides and the plank section directly
in front.  Of course, all sides would have been planked
over, but these openings allow one to see
 the interior more clearly.  The wooden planking would
have been boarded, padded, and underlaid with a
woven blanket of small sticks / vines, and over all that,
wet hides to minimise impact damage to the hipped roof
by rocks of fire arrows.
