After the Downfall of Númenór, Elendil formed an alliance with Gil-galad, the Last Alliance of Elves and Men. They marched on Barad-dûr where Sauron was defeated. Gil-galad, however, like Elendil, met his death in that war after a 3,514 year reign.
You will have seen Gil-galad and his shield in the prologue of The Lord Of The Rings - The Fellowship Of The Ring. Weta has previously produced a bust of Gil-galad.
This is an exact miniature version of the actual prop Weta made for The Lord Of The Rings, made by the same artists and craftsmen who made the original.
Made from metal, these shields can be worn as a badge or be displayed on the polystone stand.
