<Li> According to Lahori, the throne was to have a length of 3 yards (9 feet) and a breadth of 21⁄2 yards (71⁄2 feet). Tavernier however gives the length at 6 feet and breadth of 4 feet . The height is described by Lahori as 5 yards (15 feet), but Tavernier's account does not mention its total height . Only the height of the four legs at the corners are mentioned, which was about 2 feet . </Li> <Li> Lahori describes the canopy as being supported by 12 emerald columns, Tavernier describes 12 columns that were surrounded by and embedded with rows of pearls, which were round and of fine water, and which weighed from 6 to 10 carats each . He thinks these pearls were in fact the most costly and precious aspect of the throne . </Li> <Li> A major difference is the position of the eponymous peacock statues . Lahori states that on the top of each pillar there were to be two peacocks, thick - set with gems, and between each two peacocks, a tree set with rubies and diamonds, emeralds and pearls . If the reference to "pillar" here means "column" there would be 24 peacocks right round the throne . Tavernier however saw only a single large peacock above the quadrangular - shaped, dome - like canopy, with an elevated tail, embedded with blue sapphires and other coloured stones, the body of the peacock being made of gold inlaid with precious stones, having a large ruby in front of the breast, from which hung a pear - shaped pearl around 60 carats in weight . Apart from the single large peacock, Tavernier's account speaks of a large bouquet, representing many kinds of flowers, made of gold inlaid with precious stones, of the same height as the peacock, situated on either side of the peacock . </Li> <Li> According to Lahori, ascending the throne was by way of three steps, which were also set with jewels of fine water . Tavernier however describes four steps on the longer side of the throne and embedded with the same types of gemstones used on the throne, and with matching designs . </Li>
