Description
The artists worked to capture every detail when they re-created this attention-demanding, replica throne from King Tut’s 3,500-year-old museum original in Cairo.
The most elaborate of Tutankhamun’s thrones is made of wood completely covered in gold, and in some places silver, with inlay of coloured semi-precious stones and glass paste.
The back depicts the seated Tutankhamun, with his queen, anointing him with perfume, beneath a floral pavilion. The rays of the sun god Aten shine on the couple, giving them the sign for life, the Ankh.
