*THE CLASH OF THE SECRET FIRES*
from: The Franklin Mint[\"His enemy halted again, facing him, and the shadow about it reached out like two vast wings. Suddenly it drew itself up to a great height, and its wings were spread from wall to wall.\"
-----The Lord of the Rings, II:5, \"The Bridge of Khazad-dûm\"][\"I threw down my enemy, and he fell from the high place, and broke the mountain-side where he smote it in his ruin.\"
----Gandalf ]We were very fortunate indeed to come across several of these pieces in a buyout of a collectibles shop near our local university. The owner had passed and his family was selling out the ol\' shoppe\'s inventory. These marvelous unopened pieces were simply placed back, long ago, in inventory and forgotten.....and are now a wonderful and very scarce find for the true collector of \"Lord of the Rings\" and JRR Tolkien memorabilia. It comes from the legendary makers of fine collectibles, The Franklin Mint, and is NEW IN BOX and complete. (We opened only one box to check the contents and take a couple of pics. of the item in its packaging. The lead picture is stock. Yours will be in new condition. )
It\'s a magnificent and heavy piece! We were careful not to \'handle\' the pieces too much for fear of getting fingerprints on them or dulling them in any way. Rest assured your piece will be complete and shiny! Perfect for display in/under a lighted space, for your desk, for your media room. It\'s a gorgeous and shiny show stopper!\"The Clash of the Secret Fires\" Sculpture is an original design by the internationally acclaimed master fantasy artist Steve Hickman, recipient of Sci-Fi\'s greatest honor, the Hugo Award. His pieces have even been exhibited internationally in more than 300 locales around the world, and even in the Smithsonian Museum.
As a premier piece commissioned in The Lord of the Rings Sculpture Collection, this remarkable work of art is carefully crafted in accordance with the Franklin Mint’s high standards of artistic excellence. This museum-quality pewter sculpture is hand-polished, hand-painted & depicts the classic confrontation between good & evil-the wizard Gandalf & the demon Balrog: “At that moment Gandalf lifted his staff…the bridge cracked, right at the Balrog’s feet it broke…”
This heavy pewter statuette, by artist Steve Hickman, powerfully and magnificiently shows the battle between good and evil. Lovers of Middle Earth will need to add this to their collections.
Statue is approximately 8 x 7 x 5 inches and was made in, I think, the early 80\'s.
It is a very, very scarce collectible, and to find one untouched in the Franklin Mint box with all it\'s original papers and wrappings in a rare treat indeed! [*Of all the evil spirits in the world, Melkor was the mightiest. Known as the Dark Enemy, Melkor created demons to serve him in his reign of terror. His foremost champions were the Balrogs - huge, manlike creatures with fiery manes. Balrogs appeared to move in great clouds of black shadows. T limbs coiled and stretched like powerful serpents and their nostrils breathed flames. Chief among their weapons was a many-tailed whip of fire, but they also carried a spiked mace, a heavy axe, or flaming sword. When the War of Wrath was fought, Melkor\'s reign was ended and the Balrog race disappeared. Many years passed in peace. Then, during the third age of sun, Dwarf miners accidentally released an ancient Balrog that had been entombed beneath the mountains. This demon rallied the Orcs and Trolls and drove the Dwarves into retreat. After more than 200 years of the Balrog\'s evil rule, the wizard Gandolf faced the Balrog on the Bridge of Khazad-dum. This scene serves as the inspiration for \"The Clash of the Secret Fires\" Sculpture..]It is long out of production, and this could be a final chance to own one of these masterpieces for your ...up this opportunity to add one to your collection! :)
