Abstract
The paper deals with three fragments (exhibited in the Israel Museum) which belonged apparently to the bronze casing of a throne dating to the Persian Period (538-332 B.C.). After detailed description and stylistic analysis, the author suggests a reconstruction. The technique of the casting and the nature of the alloy are based on results of x-ray testing and thermal neutron radiography (by the Non-Destructive Testing Laboratory in the Soreq Nuclear Research Center), and chemical analysis of metals and trace elements analysis of the cores by emission spectrography (by the geochemical division of the Geological Survey of Israel). -- AATA
