Smaug™ the Golden is the first sculpture in John Howe’s and Weta’s range of sculptures from Middle-earth™. The sculpture is based on John’s original artwork created in 1990. It was first published on the cover of the paperback edition of The Hobbit by Grafton Books in 1991.
Having adorned the cover of The Hobbit, it is an instantly recognisable image to old and young Tolkien fans alike.
Smaug – the great dragon, at one with his cache and jealously guarding it against the world around him.
The Art of John Howe – Sculptures from Middle-earth™ is a series of sculptures from John’s iconic representations of Tolkien’s worlds, sculpted by Weta sculptors Daniel Cockersell, Brigitte Wuest and Eden Small under the creative guidance of John Howe and Richard Taylor.
This statue is cast in resin, a material that allows intricate detail, and painted as Faux Bronze.
The statue sits on a black marbled base also made from polystone. Some of the images show a wooden base, which is our original concept that we have since altered based on customer feedback. To see what the new base looks like, please see the examples depicting Éowyn and the Nazgûl in the second and third images above.
The polystone bases are cast using a process that creates a unique marbling effect for each piece.
Imported from New Zealand, this exceptional The Lord of the Rings Hobbit scarf is an authentic replica of the Hobbit scarf that is made from the homegrown woven wool of Stansborough, the same company that made the cloaks and scarves used in the epic film trilogy. The grey-colored Stansborough Gotland sheep have wool that is unusually silky, soft and lustrous — there is no similar flock of sheep anywhere in the world. This authentic gray scarf measures 25cm x 150cm (approximately 10 inches x 59 inches).
Made by Stansborough, who provided the material for the original cloak for The Lord Of The Rings. It took over 10 years to create the special wool breed of unique grey sheep known as the ‘Stansborough Grey’ and now they are the only kind in the world.
The ‘Stansborough Grey’ sheep wool is spun and then woven on 1890’s looms at the Stansborough Weaving Mill in Wellington.
Your Gandalf Cloak will be made to order by Stansborough and and can take 6-12 weeks for delivery.
Comes in three lengths, S, M and L with a 6-inch (15 cm) difference in length.

For the very first time, Weta is pleased to offer the most authentic ONE Ring ever from The Lord of the Rings trilogy.
The ONE Ring is handcrafted by the skilled team at the Jens Hansen jewellery workshop in Nelson, New Zealand (Middle-earth). Jens Hansen was famed by many as the father of modern New Zealand jewellery and was well known for pushing the boundaries of what could be done with rings. This reputation as a brilliant ringmaker was one of the main reasons he was approached to make the ONE Ring for the movies. Find out more about Jens Hansen on their website.
Today Halfdan Hansen continues his father’s legacy, working in the very same Nelson workshop, crafting the highest quality jewellery.
The ONE Ring is made to order in 18 carat gold.
It can be ordered as an exact movie replica without inscriptions, or with the elvish inscriptions on both the interior and exterior of the ring, as designed by the original Weta artists.
The sterling silver chain is 65cm long, as worn by Frodo, with the same clasp design, as per the original.
The ONE Ring carries the quality endorsement and hallmarks of Jens Hansen, Weta and New Line Cinema. It comes with a certificate of authenticity signed by Halfdan Hansen.
Created by the original artists. This is the ONE Ring to rule them all.
