Cirdan's Device
Cirdan's Device
"Círdan, also known as Nowë and Círdan the Shipwright, was one of the highest and most noble of the Sindar, Lord of the Falathrim during the First Age, and Master of the Grey Havens through the Second, Third, and Fourth Age. He was one of the wisest and most clairvoyant of the Elves, and by the Second Age the oldest known elf in Middle-earth, to remain so throughout that age and into the Fourth Age as well. He was also gifted Narya, one of the Three Rings, by Celebrimbor until he surrendered it to Gandalf."
Cirdan's device, or heraldic sigil. Inspired by Daniel Falconer's design, but adapted to be integrated into some beautiful preexisting carving of a heavy vintage piece that seems to have been used as a chopping board at some point of its life! Saved from squalor and immediately rushed to the Fauno workshop for emergency upcycling, here it is studded with opals, painted with vivid sea greens and metallic gold and silver.
Carnauba wax and metallic wax finish.
