Lord of the Rings Statue Saruman The White 19 cm

Once the leader of the Order of the Istari and a truly great and wise wizard, Saruman the White fell into darkness and became an agent of evil during the War of the Ring. For too long, he studied the ways of his enemy, believing that by better understanding Sauron's nature, he could discern a means of victory. Using one of the lost stones of Númenor, the Wizard attempted to spy on the Dark Lord, but was tricked into communicating with him through the glowing black sphere. It was a contest of wills that Saruman lost. Lured by promises of power and dark thoughts of his mastery, Saruman fell from his purpose and abandoned his allies. In his arrogance, he believed himself capable of usurping Sauron's place. Though he did his new master's bidding, the corrupt wizard plotted a second betrayal. Yet in doing so, he overcame it, for pride and lust for power had blinded Saruman, and Sauron's eye perceived his betrayal through the lens of the Palantir. The fall of Saruman, once leader of the White Council, was doomed to be written in blood. Crafted by Gary Hunt, a member of the original Lord of the Rings crew, Saruman the White will make a great addition to your Weta Workshop miniatures collection. Dimensions: 11 x 18.9 x 11 cm
