Is this officially licensed?
Yes! This piece is part of our exclusive collaboration with the legendary Wētā Workshop — the very studio behind the design magic of The Lord of the Rings films.

Will it rust or flake?
Not at all. It’s made from Corten® steel, which weathers over time to develop a stable, protective patina. It won’t corrode or flake — just gets better with age.

Can I really install it myself?
Absolutely. No magic spells required — just a hammer and a few steady taps. It’s designed for easy installation in minutes.

Will the detail hold up over time?
Yes. Every Green Dragon silhouette is precision-cut from premium steel to preserve its design through years of wind, rain, and sun.

Is it gift-worthy?
It’s a jaw-dropper for any Tolkien fan. Comes in flat-pack packaging with no extra wrapping needed — a magical mail-day moment in the making.
