We are very proud to present our officially licensed Lothlorien Bow Of Legolas! This amazing replica is molded directly from a screen used Lothlorien bow, and captures all of the intricate detail it possesses. Measuring an imposing 66” in length, this museum quality piece comes complete with a themed wall display plaque, and is accurate to the finest detail, including the strand of Galadriel’s golden “hair” running through the string!
