The Sword of Bard the Bowman features a hilt bearing design motifs of ancient Dale, with a pommel in the shape of twin bird heads and a leather wrapped grip embossed with an overlapping scaled feather pattern.
Bard, also known as Bard the Bowman, and less chiefly Bard the First, was a man of Lake-town, the slayer of the dragon Smaug, and the founder and first king of the new Kingdom of Dale. He was succeeded as King of Dale by his son, Bain.
