An ancient human-like race of Middle-earth, Elves are noble, elegant and magical beings in harmony with the natural world and its forces. Elves have clearer perception and more heightened awareness than humans, which was a valuable aid when Gil-galad, the last High King of the Noldor, joined Elendil, King of Gondor, to create The Last Alliance of Elves and Men in order to defeat the evil Sauron and his legion of orcs. The army of the Last Alliance won the Battle of Dagorlad. Then, on the slopes of Mount Orodruin, despite heavy losses, the Alliance managed to drive Sauron’s forces back. Cornered there, Sauron himself took to the battlefield. After heavy battle, Gil-galad and Elendil were slain, but Isildur, son of Elendil, cut The One Ring from Sauron’s finger, thus ending his reign of power. The High Elven Warrior Shield is a reflection of the stately army of Elves that fought against Sauron and his forces, and was designed around a leaf motif, adorned with an elven vine design to reflect the organic nature-based culture of the Elves.
This authentically detailed shield is a reproduction of the shield prominently featured in The Lord of the Rings, The Fellowship of the Ring presented by New Line Cinema.

This adult collectible is strictly limited to 5000 pieces worldwide and is individually serialized on a solid brass plate mounted on the back of the shield to ensure authenticity.
