The throne of Tutankhamun was made of wood covered with gold and silver, and decorated with semi-precious stones and colored glass.

The queen is represented here on the pedestal, as she anoints the king with perfume, while the sun's aton sends its rays towards the royal couple.

Here the king wears a complex crown and a wide necklace, while the queen wears a beautiful wreath on her head.

The bodies of the king and queen were inlaid with colored glass, while the bodies were overlaid with silver, simulating white linen.

The front of the two arms of the throne is protected by two lions, while the rest are shaped like two winged serpents, crowned with the double crown, where they protect the name of the king.

The throne was provided with a footstool of wood, on which are carved symbolic images of the northern and southern enemies of Egypt, known as the nine arches, and they are tietied and lying on the ground in humiliation.

The depicted birds, known as rakhit, denoting the common people, are represented here under the king's control.
