SciFi and Fantasy Art Beren recovers a Silmaril by Anke Katrin Eissmann

As a dead beast Beren lay upon the ground; but Lúthien touching him with her hand aroused him, and he cast aside the wolf-hame. Then he drew forth the knife Angrist; and from the iron claws that held it he cut a Silmaril. As he closed it in his hand, the radiance welled through his living flesh, and his hand became as a shining lamp; but the jewel suffered his touch and hurt him not.

J.R.R. Tolkien: The Silmarillion, Of Beren and Lúthien
