The Hobbit - Skull of Smaug Miniature

The Hobbit - Skull of Smaug Miniature

ETA: 30 May 2026

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.
