Description
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 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 centrepiece, it would enhance any collector’s treasure horde.
