Golden Throne of Tutankhamun 3d printable modelThrone Chairs and Ceremonies for the Golden King ...
The magnificent throne of Tutankhamun is a remarkable masterpiece. It is renowned as one of the most important and well-preserved furniture items from ancient Egypt. Its vibrant colors have endured for over three millennia, a true testament to the exceptional craftsmanship of ancient Egyptian artisans.
This opulent chair stands out due to its intricate technique and rich details. Two lion heads protrude to guard the throne's seat, while the arms are adorned with winged uraei or rearing cobras wearing the double Pschent crown of Egypt, protecting the king's cartouche names.
Discovered in 1922 by British archaeologist Howard Carter, the golden throne of Tutankhamun was found beneath a hippopotamus funerary bed in the antechamber of the king's tomb.
Known as (Ist) in Egyptian hieroglyphs after the mother goddess Isis, the throne is crafted from wood and overlaid with gold and silver. It is embellished with semi-precious stones and colored glass.
Symbolizing the connection between the divine and mortal realms, as well as representing majesty, stability, safety, and balance, the throne held great significance. As kings were viewed as earthly gods, it is easy to envision Tutankhamun exerting his divine authority while seated upon this golden throne.
