Legolas Draws the Bow of Galadriel by Michael Kaluta

The Bow of the Galadhrim was the gift Galadriel bestowed to Legolas.

Before the Company of the Ring left Lothlórien, Galadriel presented each of them with gifts. To Legolas she gave a bow such as the Galadhrim used. The bow was longer and stouter than the bows of Mirkwood, and it was strung with a string of elf-hair. With it went a quiver of arrows.[1] The bow proved to be a very useful gift indeed, for it was with this bow that Legolas shot down the descending Fell beast from the sky, near the rapids of Sarn Gebir.[2]
