The Mayor had another idea this weekend and decided to make a shield for Boookie to match his sword. A piece of scrap wood from old Ikea furniture plus a few hardware fittings and some paint became this shield of Minas Tirith. For the uninitiated, the symbol is the white tree of Gondor, brought to Middle Earth by Isildur, and the seven stars represent the seven palantir of Elendil.
Here's the young warrior with his sword and shield. The Mayor made the cloak many (20!) years ago when he was 13, and the young Boookie warrior has finally grown into it.
