II twas interesting to see these two thrones displayed under a canopy and on a pedestal in the grounds of the Ubud Palace. These are probably props for the Balinese ethnic cultural dances held here almost every night. I assume so because if these were part of the royal family's belongings, they wouldn't be displayed out in open and exposed to the elements and so openly. I am now in the Ubud Palace in Ubud, Bali. Detailed notes about the Ubud Palace appear in previous captions. (Bali, Indonesia, May 2018)
