Mycenaean Miniature Throne in the Getty Villa, July 2008

Miniature Throne
Mycenaean, 1425-1100 BC
Terracotta

Inventory # 96.AD.66

This small chair served as a seat for a statuette, perhaps a throne for a deity. Figures of seated women, made separately or as one piece with a chair, have been found at many religious, domestic, and burial sites from the Mycenaean period.
