[3] The throne: the symbol of the king

Become part of the scene depicted in the mosaic for a moment: you can touch the tiles that make up the royal throne, the symbol of the king’s magnificence and the place reserved for sovereigns. Touching the fruit of the skilful work of the mosaic artists from the East can give you an idea of the consistency of the materials used for this precious construction that manifests royal power.
