Well of course it's a metaphor...Did you think Jesus was speaking of a polished mahogany, gold inlaid throne that the Pharisees passed from generation to generation like your religion does???
The 'seat' was wherever Moses sat down (or stood) to teach and judge the Tribes of Israel...
And it can be found all over the OT...
According to Jesus, the scribes and Pharisees occupy Moses’ seat” (Matt. 23:2), having the authority and ability to interpret the law of Moses correctly; here “seat” is both a metaphor for judicial authority AND also a reference to a LITERAL stone seat in the front of many synagogues that would be occupied by an authoritative teacher of the law.

Hi, thanks for replying.
You’re denying there is a “literal” seat of Moses back
then in the synogogue. You exaggerate saying “throne”,
actually, there was a real seat.
The metaphor, the description of Moses’ authority is in Exodus but not the literal.
