Throughout history and throughout the world, could there be any greater symbol of power and dominion than a golden throne? This one belonging to Tutankhamun is eye-wateringly beautiful, covered not only with gold leaf but also silver and semi-precious stones.
The picture on the back panel shows the young pharaoh being anointed with perfume by his wife Anknesenamun. The legs of the chair have lion’s heads and paws.
