The thrones are surmounted by a thatched roof supported by stone pillars. Many of them bear inscriptions in Geʽez, which commemorate the deeds and conquests of the kings of Aksum. There are also freestanding commemorative inscriptions which are sometimes written in Greek to allow travellers to read them.
