According to a written statement of the Ministry of Education, this is probably part of a large stone seat.

The professor of the American University Dickinson, Christofilis Maggidis, considers that finding along with three other fragments spotted in various parts of the ancient city of Mycenae may be part of the base or the decoration of Agamemnon’s throne.

This finding is of great importance for archeology and Greek civilization, since it is the first throne of a Mycenaean palace that has been found in the mainland Greece up to now.
