The leaves of Lórien,[1] also known as just "Elven-brooches",[1] were brooches given by Galadriel as gifts to the members of the Fellowship of the Ring (except for Gandalf, presumed at the time to be dead) at the end of their stay at Lothlórien. They appeared as the new-opened leaves of a beech-tree.[2]
History[]
In The Two Towers, after the breaking of the Fellowship, Peregrin Took intentionally dropped his brooch while being carried by Uruk-hai as a signal to Aragorn, Legolas, and Gimli, who were tracking the captured hobbits, that they were on the correct trail. In Henneth Annûn, Frodo showed his leaf to Faramir as proof of his claim to his friendship to Boromir, as well as his time spent in Lothlórien.
In adaptations[]
In The Lord of the Rings trilogy of films[]
In Peter Jackson's The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring, according to Celeborn, all the surviving Fellowship were given brooches in the form of a green leaf veined with silver to clasp the elven cloaks they were also given.
