This book publishes some of the most significant and frequently illustrated objects from Tutankhamun’s tomb. His gold throne, which figured prominently in accounts of the tomb’s discovery, and the less well-known inlaid ebony throne, have never left Egypt because they are too delicate to travel. The structure, decoration, and texts of these thrones and of two others are analysed. The rest of the book treats the remaining chairs, stools, and footstools found in the tomb. Notes on construction and scale drawings which the innovative German-English architect Walter Segal (1907-1985) made in the Egyptian Museum in Cairo in 1935 provide the point of departure for the book. M. Eaton-Krauss supplements his records with comparative material and her own observations, as well as description and analysis of the decoration and presentation of the texts. Harry Burton’s photographic record made during the clearance of the tomb is supplemented by photographs taken by Segal and by the author.
