The Bamboo Throne (for the Crocodile King) was originally designed by Robert Wilson and appeared on stage in Alceste in 1986. The throne is a feat of integrated materials of Japanese tiger bamboo, ash, bamboo reeds, and a woven French horsehair seat cushion. Wilson created a very limited edition of two for public exhibition.
