The golden throne of Tutankhamun is a unique work of art. Considered to be one of the most significant and well-preserved pieces of furniture from ancient Egypt, its colors haven't faded over the three thousand years it's been buried, which serves as a testament to the high skill of the ancient Egyptian craftsmen.

Two projecting lions’ heads protect the seat of the throne while the arms take the form of winged uraei or rearing cobras wearing the double Pschent crown of Egypt and guarding the cartouche names of the king.

The golden throne of Tutankhamun was discovered in 1922 by the British archeologist Howard Carter. It was found beneath a hippopotamus funerary bed in the antechamber of the Tomb of Tutankhamun.
