Depiction of the Benin Royal Throne and Tutankhamun of Egypt Throne. The Benin Royal throne depicts D Oba and his warriors on the back and base, a double-headed snake as a crest rail, and leopards for the arm rests. -

While that of the Tut depicts a scene from the daily life of the pharaoh; on the front of the throne is the young Tutankhamun sitting in a relaxed pose, while his wife Ankhesenamun rubs her husband's shoulder with fragrance oils. If you look closely, you can spot a gold bracelet on Tutankhamun's left foot. His wife has the same jewelry on her right leg. In ancient Egypt, these bracelets were considered a symbol of betrothal. -
