Many ancient Egyptian gods were identified by a symbol either carried on the head or in the hand, or by some specific manifestation or appearance. In the case of the goddess Astor 3s.t, commonly known today as Isis (the Greek version of her name), her name was written with hieroglyphs that include the side view of a throne; her name probably means "She of the Throne".
So she did not "have a throne on her head" - she had the hieroglyph depicting a throne on her head, just as Nephthys had the hieroglyphs of her name on her head, Ma'at had a feather, Serket had a scorpion hieroglyph and so on.
