Recovered from the depths of the Long Lake, this fossilized cranium belonged to Smaug, last and greatest of the fire-drakes of the North.
The horn cores are long, tapering bones sheathed in black keratin, a material of exceptional durability even after millennia. The teeth, serrated and recurved, retain traces of gold fused into the enamel, a result of prolonged contact between the treasure-hoard on which he slept and the heat that resided within his breath. The immense jaw structure and resonating cavities of the skull once amplified a voice described as both enthralling and terrible.
This specimen replica can be displayed with jaw open, to evoke the roar that shook the Lonely Mountain, or closed, to capture the brooding menace of its repose. An unparalleled centerpiece, the Skull of Smaug replica by Weta Workshop will enhance any Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit collector's treasure horde.
By the famed artist's at Weta Workshop, each miniature skull replica is a compact yet detailed artifact. Each piece offers a profound glimpse into the anatomy of Middle-earth. Enhance your Middle Earth collection with this unique curation and examine these creatures like never before!

It takes hundreds of hours to design, sculpt, model make, mold, and paint the prototype for each new Middle-earth piece. Whether it be a prop replica, beautiful environment or iconic character, Weta Workshop treats their collectibles with the same level of care and attention to detail they bring to their film work.
