King Ghassan’s throne legitimizes and adds to the power of its occupant. The throne is sky blue and twice the size of an adult male. It is ornamented with inlaid rubies, carnelians, and topaz above its head to represent the rising sun. With its carved paw legs, its purpose was to turn the occupant into a living shedu, the emblem of the Nahid family.
