Throneroom

Thrones, chairs, tables, beds, ropes, carts, and guns appear in lightning speed to transform the stage into battlefields, bedrooms and thronerooms, into roads, docks, and taverns.

Suddenly before them shone a throneroom of sparkling diamond, emerald, and transparent gold that overlooked a gleaming, golden altar fuming with smoke. Before it burned four flames that moved back and forth, then the vision vanished.

In its totality, the throneroom represents a complex play between convention and innovation in the sequence of ancient Mesopotamian art up to that point.
