San Marco - Hetoimasia, Christ’s empty throne on earth and the 12 lambs as symbols of the 12 apostles

            Venice, Basilica di San Marco, decoration of the north facade
The empty throne is a Byzantine symbol for the presence of the Divine, first depicted in Saint Mary Major (Santa Maria Maggiore) in Rome in the fifth century. In Revelation 4 the empty throne is a symbol of the last judgment and is often found on an arch or over the door of Byzantine churches. 

The empty throne here is an armchair with a footstool, a book laying on the cushion, there above a patriarchal cross with two crossbars, and on the top an "Agnus Dei" in a circle.
