I was a bit skeptical being the first to perhaps purchase and review this banner, but for all you LOTR fans, this is the one to get. Silk material (actually polyester) is beautiful - no flaws to detect. A bit more expensive than I'd like to have spent but now that I have this one, I'm certainly going to order the rest of the set. The ram head pole is beautiful, although it did come apart when it arrived - but simple hot glue put it right again. It's long! Hanging from the top of my wall it falls practically to the floor. Goes great against the map of middle earth and the Sword of Anduril :)
