The throne is traditionally both the Royal seat and the symbol of power for the State of Kedah Darul Aman. The Throne, which can be found in the Royal Audience Hall at the Anak Bukit Palace, and which was commissioned in 1986, reflects the richness of Kedah Darul Aman's traditional Malay culture. At the top of its back can be found the Kedah Darul Aman State emblem, layered with gold and supported at the bottom by a carved design of "setar" flowers. At the lower section one can find a striped design of padi flowers, which further enhances the grandeur of the throne itself. The throne's left, right and midsection at the back are decorated with carvings of gold stars, a symbol of Islam. The seat cushion is covered in purple leather.
