Elijah gets to keep his precious

Lord Of The Rings actor Elijah Wood has taken several of his Frodo Baggins character’s film props to keep as souvenirs of the film trilogy that has made him an international star.

They include the golden ring at the centre of the stories, a sword and one of 1,600 pairs of hobbit feet made for the films, which were shot in New Zealand over the course of 16 months.
