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. He studied the ways of his enemy for too long, believing that by better understanding Sauron's nature he could discern a means to victory. Using one of the lost Seeing Stones of Númenor, the wizard sought to spy on the Dark Lord, but was tricked into communicating with him through the smooth black orb. It was a contest of wills that Saruman lost. Lured by promises of power and dark thoughts of his own mastery, Saruman lost his purpose and abandoned his allies. In his arrogance he believed himself capable of usurping Sauron's place. While carrying out his new master's orders, the corrupt wizard plotted a second betrayal. Yet in doing so he overdid it, for pride and lust for power had blinded Saruman, and the Eye of Sauron perceived his betrayal through the lens of the palantir. The fall of Saruman, once leader of the White Council, was destined to be written in blood. Masterfully sculpted by Gary Hunt, a member of the original Lord of the Rings crew, Saruman the White will make an excellent addition to your Weta Workshop miniatures collection.
