The boy-king’s gilded throne was among the most spectacular treasures. Impressed by the throne in 1929, an American businessman named Thomas Jefferson (Jeff) Penn ordered this modern reproduction from a Cairo furniture-maker. On the backrest, Queen Ankh-es-en-Amun touches Tutankhamun’s broad collar in a tender gesture, while the sun god Aten sends human-handed rays of light, streaming down to bless the couple.
