An Elven warrior cloak, helmet and shield from Peter Jackson's adaptation of J.R.R. Tolkien's fantasy epic The Lord of the Rings. The Elven army carried shields during the film's prologue, in which the Last Alliance of Elves and Men fought against the Dark Lord Sauron (Sala Baker) and his forces at the foot of Mount Doom. The Elves of Lorien wore helmets and cloaks at Helm's Deep, the climactic battle at the end of The Two Towers. The talented team at Weta Workshop created the costumes and armoury for the trilogy, winning Academy Awards for their work on The Return of the King.

The shield is made of dense urethane and resembles a large leaf, detailed with spiral patterns and painted in a dark brown colour with gold-coloured highlights, giving it a mystical, earthy feel. The back includes a vertical metal grip painted brown to resemble wood. The helmet is made from flexible vinyl, decorated in metallic brown hues, with raised swirling patterns across the surface. A tall crest tapers down to the nose, and Velcro and elastic straps ensure a snug fit for the wearer. The grey-blue hooded cloak ties at the front below the chin. Traces of stage blood residue are present around the neck, and small slits have been made in the sides, most likely for stunts involving harnesses. There are light scuffs to the helmet and shield, and slight flaking to the paint above the cheeks on the helmet, but all of the components remain in very good condition . Dimensions (shield): 13 cm x 55 cm x 135 cm (5" x 21 1/2" x 53")
