The golden throne, the one with Ankhesenamon on the back anointing her husband Tutankhamon, came from his early childhood. It was not thrown out after Nefertiti complained it was "junk." But now, in today's world, art is appreciated and who else to share with but the whole world in a museum?
The throne has lion heads on the arm rest posts. Aton the solar One God shines through a ceiling portal, anointing the Nisut with his hands, bestowing life on him.
The throne was found in the tomb antechamber.
The official throne was not found in any tomb, as the heir would use it. Most tomb furnishings are either made for the afterlife or are used junk from one's life.
