Royal Throne

Belatedly rounding out our series on the crowned butts of Turkey, here is something they do not show you in the official tour of the Harem of Topkapi Palace. This, apparently, is where the Sultan and his concubines relieved themselves.

It helps to remember that even a Sultan or Caliph puts his trousers on one pantleg at a time.

It's basically the same as the toilet the common Turk would use; only made of marble with fixtures of gold.
