91 Note

Both fibrous translucent calcite and 1 translucent glass  (1 generally over mosaic and details in
polychrome pigment) are used in the inlay-work of the throne. It is difficult to distinguish these
two materials from one another, but that overlaying detail in pigment has a distinct glazy
surface and is without doubt glass, while that without detail underneath has a soft-like polish
and evidently is calcite.
