Artist: Peter Lyon Sturdy and broad-bladed, Boromir’s sword was forged by the smiths of Minas Tirith specifically for the Steward of Gondor’s eldest son. Strong and valiant, Boromir wielded the heavy blade one-handed, with shield clutched in his off hand or horn raised to his lips.
A single, wide fuller ran almost to the tip of the blade, while the elegantly curved crossguard was twisted, ending in brass-ringed caps matching the sword’s wide pommel. The grip of the weapon was wrapped in rich brown leather, matching the scabbard in which it hung and the round shield Gondor’s favourite son wore upon his back.
Boromir’s sword was designed by Ben Wootten and made at Weta Workshop in New Zealand for The Lord of the Rings film trilogy by master swordsmith Peter Lyon.
