Description:
The Design
Whether it is the original novel or the film, the strength of Sauron and his army are
terrifying. The design of Sauron's armor was intended to be unique to him, and as
singular in its forging as the One Ring. The entwining of the intaglio decoration was
intended to contrast with the strong ugliness of all the sharp spikes, blades, and sharp
edges, mimicking the look of black thorns.
The One Ring on his finger is his most iconic item and the most powerful weapon in
the middle-earth. A fiery inscription in the Black Speech is displayed on the ring,
conferring power to dominate the wills of other beings.
