From Wikipedia
The Peacock Throne (Hindustani: Mayūrāsana, Sanskrit: मयूरासन, Urdu: تخت طاؤس, Persian: تخت طاووس, Takht-i Tāvūs) was the imperial throne of the Indian Mughal emperors, the Sunni Muslim rulers of the Mughal Empire from the Timurid dynasty, a dynasty or Barlās clan of Turco-Mongol origin. The throne was named after the two figures of peacocks displaying their tails that were mounted on its canopy. It was commissioned in the early 17th century by Emperor Shah Jahan and was located in the Diwan-i-Khas (Hall of Private Audiences, or Ministers' Room) in the Red Fort of Delhi. The original throne was taken as a war trophy by Nader Shah, in 1739 after his invasion of India. Its replacement disappeared during or soon after the Indian Rebellion of 1857.
