Possibly a royal throne fragment but also might be just a basin!

Definitely a lump of stone.

I have to admit I was underwhelmed with the look of the thing... I was expecting...erm...a bit more to it!

[Jim Webster]

Definitely a lump of stone.

yes, I'm convinced, it is a lump of stone, and might indeed be stone too porous to be a basin

The internet provides us with an artist's reconstruction (or two) of the Mycenaean Megaron (throne room).  One may observe the style of throne.

Meanwhile we can make up our own minds about whether the stone alone is really from the throne.

[Duncan Head]

Of course it could be both a throne and a basin, using the plumbing-related meaning of "throne"...

boom-tish!
