Moonlight Sonata played on the Stalactite Organ of Luray Caverns
“The Great Stalacpipe Organ is an electrically actuated lithophone located in Luray Caverns, Virginia, USA. It is operated by a custom console that produces the tapping of ancient stalactites of varying sizes with solenoid-actuated rubber mallets in order to produce tones. The instrument’s name was derived from the resemblance of the selected thirty-seven naturally formed stalactites to the pipework of a traditional pipe organ along with its custom organ-style keyboard console. It was designed and implemented in 1956 over three years by Leland W. Sprinkle inside the Luray Caverns near Shenandoah National Park in Virginia, USA.” –x
“The solenoid and hammer combo that “plays” the stalactites.” -x

Sauron addresses Ar-Pharazon and Tar-Miriel in the court of Armenelos.
Scythian gold torque in the form of dragons, dated to the 2nd century BCE to the 1st century CE. From the source:
Hundreds of tiny scales are individually soldered to the writhing forms of two confronted dragons on this magnificent gold torc. Thick curving horns sweep back over the long pointed ears of the rather wolf-like dragon heads. With muzzles drawn into ferocious snarls, these mighty beasts express the formidable strength of the Scythians, one of ancient Eurasia’s most powerful cultures.

Close cousin to the polearm called a “bec-de-corbin” (crow-bill) and with the same problem – if used with too much enthusiasm, it’s going to stay where you put it.
