'''Brief description:''' Marble throne with reliefs

== Attributes ==

'''Inscription Type:''' Dedication (?)

'''Object Type:''' Throne

'''Material:''' ‘Pentelic’ or ‘Hymettan’ marble (Seltman)

'''Original Location:''' Athens, at the ancient ''prytaneion'' (von Stackelberg). However, the place that von Stackelberg identified as the ancient ''prytaneion'', alongside his reasons for doing so, is unclear (Miller).

'''Provenance:''' Athens

'''Date:''' On the basis of letterforms c. 300. The inscription may have been added some time after the throne’s manufacture (Seltman).

'''Dimensions:''' ‘Its height at the back is 81.3 centimetres (32 inches); the height, from the ground, of the seat, 35 cm. (13 3/4 ins.); full width in front over the lion's leg knees, 71-2 cm. (28 ins.). The diameter of the complete olive-wreath (Fig. 2), one of a pair on the back on the outside, is 21.5 cm. (8 1/2 ins.). The height of the Tyrannicides relief (P1. VII), 19.7 cm. (7 3/4 ins.); of the Greek and Amazon relief, to the top of the Greek's head, 20.6 cm. (8 1/2 ins.), to the point of his sword, 25. 4 cm. (10 ins.).’ (Seltman)

'''Layout:''' Inscription is carved on the broken upper edge of the support of the throne. The letters are deeply cut, and were ‘perhaps once filled with polished bronze.’ (Seltman)

'''Writing:''' Inscribed

'''Condition:''' ‘On either side in front is a double volute, the one at the sitter's right hand being broken away above, the break extending over and beyond the Tyrannicides. It is an ancient fracture. Below the double volutes are fat stylised lion's legs, swollen-kneed, the paw of the one at the sitter's left broken away’. In addition, there is ‘an ancient break following the last [preserved inscribed] letter.’ (Seltman)

'''Decoration:''' Two wreaths are on the back of the throne. The figures of Harmodios and Aristogeiton, with daggers in their hands, are depicted on the right side; the scene depicted on the left side is debated: the death of Leaina (Hamilton et al); Erectheus’ sacrifice of Chthonia (Stackelberg); Theseus slaying the Amazon? (Michaelis); Theseus slaying the Amazon/ possibly Achilles and Penthesileia (Seltman).

== Collection ==
'''Location:''' Broom Hall (Scotland, Fife): along the walls of the spacious hall (Michaelis).

'''Collector(s):''' Lord Elgin.

'''Date collected:''' von Stackelberg found the throne whilst at Athens, probably in 1810, and believed the monument would still be there when he published it in 1837. In 1811, however, Hamilton ''et al'' mentioned that the marble throne had passed into Lord Elgin's possession. Michaelis noted that ‘as the marble chair [as well as some other marbles] did not form part of Elgin’s collection offered for sale to the nation in 1816, it may have been brought to Scotland at a later time’. Hunt and Smith reiterated this point by recording that the throne was shipped from Piraeus on 16th April 1818, by H.M.S. Satellite, and arrived ‘at a date altogether posterior to the date of the public purchase [1816].’

'''Accession or catalogue number:''' Not known.

'''Brief description:''' Pedimental stele with relief.

== Attributes ==

'''Inscription Type:'''

'''Object Type:''' Pedimental stele with relief.

'''Material:''' ‘Thasian’ Marble (Dimitrova)

'''Original Location:''' ‘It was found in Palaiopolis.’ (Dimitrova)

'''Provenance:''' Samothrace

'''Date:''' 2nd - 1st century BC? (Dimitrova)

'''Dimensions:''' Height 0.79; width 0.33-37; thickness ?; letter height 0.017-020 (Fraser).

'''Layout:''' ‘Fourteen lines [of text] and the beginning of the fifteenth of which survive.’ (Winbolt)

'''Writing:''' Inscribed. According to Roux, the inscription was carved on top of an older text.

'''Condition:''' ‘The stone has … deteriorated so much from exposure and wear that a better text cannot now be established … very much worn, especially at the bottom … only a few words here and there are now distinguishable.’ (Winbolt). Fraser was informed of further rapid deterioration of the stone’s surface from 1930, and in August 1945 J. M. R. Cormack reported that hardly any trace of the inscription survived (Robert and Robert ''BE'' 1964). Lines 16-24 are now missing (Dimitrova).

'''Decoration:''' ‘The top half has a conventional representation of a temple front and door, on either side of which is a burning torch; the lower half has a Greek inscription (in capitals)…’ (Winbolt). In the nineteenth century, Conze recorded that the rectangular space beneath the pedimental crown contained at least one figure, which he believed to be Kybele; all intelligible trace of the figure has now disappeared (Lehmann and Lehmann).

== Collection ==
'''Location:''' Bignor Park: ‘built into the walls of a garden house.’ (Winbolt)

'''Collector(s):''' ‘Almost certainly brought over to England by Mr. John Hawkins.’ (Winbolt)

'''Date collected:''' Not known: Lord Aberdeen first saw the inscription at the Athenian house of Fauvel in 1803, as recorded by him in his unpublished journal and later referred to in Walpole's Travels, 602; the passage quoted by Walpole, however, is not thought to have appeared in Fauvel’s journal (Fraser). Fraser notes that the stone was regarded as lost in the years following its initial sighting and its rediscovery at Bignor Park by S. E. Winbolt in 1926. Winbolt noted that ‘the marble slab was brought from Samothrace to the Hellespont by a British merchant named Willis. Thence almost certainly it was brought … by Hawkins.’ Winbolt assumed that the inscription reached Bignor Park when Mr. John Hawkins settled down there in 1806.
