Good one! Had me going for a minute. It is an optical illusion, the two darker areas are legs, the lighter is the throne.

Die Subsidence Errors

This may have affected the integrity of the statue area also?

Common problem with several dies this year. If you look at the left cornice area you can see the die altering there.
