Pippin's Brooch, an exquisite Elven clasp shaped like an opening beech leaf in silver and gold, emerges in The Two Towers as a glittering fastener for the cloaks gifted to the Fellowship in Lórien. Dropped inadvertently by Peregrin Took during his and Merry's frantic escape from pursuing Orcs in the forests of Rohan, it serves as a crucial trail marker discovered by Aragorn, Legolas, and Gimli. Though its role is brief, the brooch symbolizes the enduring magic of Lothlórien and aids in the vital reunion of the Fellowship's remnants, with no further significant mentions in later books.
