Greek throne backside?

[Marcus Cassius LegioXIV]

So, saw lots of neat items in the back room of the museum I work at, and this item seems pretty amazing to be sitting in the back.

Listed as Bronze throne back. Engraved scenes of figures, horses, and chariots. ca. 550 B.C.E.

You might have to zoom in to get many details. Any thoughts?

Amazing if it is what it says! I wish we could better see the engravings.
It looks like a chair of this type:
