Context (Amendments / updates)
Allocated .1 and .2 to the thrones on 09 12 2015, for documentation purposes. This would make the figure, which is on display, 1930.1389.3.
1930.1389.1 has been allocated to the larger throne, and 1930.1389.2 to the smaller, tinsel-trimmed cloth decked throne.
1930.1389.2 shows evidence of where a collector/donor label would have been adhered to its base, indicated by the recognisable shape and size as seen with other Lechmere-Oertel objects.
