Asfaloth

"Suddenly into view below came a white horse, gleaming in the shadows, running swiftly. In the dusk its headstall flickered and flashed, as if it were studded with gems like living stars."

Asfaloth tacked up and playing in the fields.

I have always thought of how Elven horse tack is rarely shown as a sophisticated state of art of leather and metal. I imagine with the dedication they have for perfection their horses' tack would be something to behold, especially Asfaloth's who was a noble steed of a noble Elf. So here is my attempt at it.

Glorfindel was originally of the House of Golden Flower in Gondolin and I thought his emblem should show up in tack of Asfaloth. I decided to depict sun(which I believe was the central figure of House of Golden Flower emblem) in the form of Laurelin's flower, as is seen on the lower rein and on the headstall.

I just realized the scan comes out in dots if enlarged. As soon as I get some scanner that won't do this, I'll fix it. Bummer.
