These seated figures of women likely represented enthroned goddesses and have been found at many Mycenaean sites. Often the figure and the throne were made as one piece; as here, and in other instances, the figure and the throne were made as two separate pieces.
The thrones take two forms: one with a solid back, decorated with a vertical pattern, and the other with a latticework back, cf. lot 64. All these thrones have three legs, which some scholars assume has religious significance.
