Palace of Putangitangi: Difference between revisions

 

==Interior==

The '''Throne Room''' is the place where the Council of the Elders meets and from which the Crown issues royal edicts. In reality the Emperor only uses this room on special occasions. Usually announcements on royal edicts are made by a courtier to one or two members of the Council of Elders while standing in front of the throne. The Emperor also receives foreign dignitaries from here. The room has a large skylight to allow light through. It is covered with white and blue marble which helps to keep the room cool throughout the year. The Throne sits on a dais and is made from stainless steel and covered with gold leaf.
