My own display idea (and of course, I'd love to see others do something similar) is to basically make like a mantle, using the shield as the shelf. In the film, it was indeed a statue, but it was holding a shield that the shards rested on. I've got a large canvas painting of the sauron mural that Indy Magnoli did for me, and i'm gonna display my shards under that.

They were never mounted to wood on screen! So I destroyed it to display them the way I wanted.

I got my shards pretty cheap actually, and really, i felt no pain about destroying the collectible just to have the shards. So, let me know what you think! I'm pretty proud of these, and they're really a lot of fun to have around. I happened to have a cheap, knockoff Narsil which I believed was a recast from a real UC Narsil, so I ended up creating my Shards for less than $50. But where to begin? I couldn't buy my own UC Shards (due to exorbitant prices), so I chose instead to make my own shards. For this reason, I wanted to create my own Shards of Narsil. The blade was preserved for generations, and it was a major part of winning two wars, millennia apart. Narsil, or more accurately, the Shards of Narsil, are a character in the book, just as much as any other. So, this is really an important prop for me, not just because it's a prop. Aragorn ruled for another 120 years, and after his death, the blade was passed down from father to son, just as it had been an entire age before.

Once again, the sword that was Narsil was worn by the King of Gondor. Aragorn was crowned the first King of Gondor since Narsil's last wielder, Isildur. The forces of Mordor were decimated, and Sauron departed Middle Earth forever. Aragorn fell, there, in that battle, but Narsil's old nemesis, the One Ring, was destroyed. Anduril fought in many battles, including the battle at the end of the Third Age, the Battle of the Black Gate.
