專家說明

The chairs celebrate the triumph of poetry with their chimerical monopodiae of Apollo's sacred swans terminating in griffin paws; while their golden bas relief tablets comprise the poetry deity's lyre emblem guarded by sacred griffins, together with palm-flowered cartouches displaying the sunflower sacred to Apollo the sun-deity.
