Hobbits have no beards.
From Tolkien's brilliant descriptions comes the masterful art work carved by Ludwig Kieninger, a German artist now living in Dallas, Texas. Ludwig spent fourteen years carving this incredibly detailed collection of more than forty statues. Arwen and Galadriel, both princesses, illustrate the ultimate beauty of the Tolkien world where Gollum is the image of the despicable. The largest piece in the collection, the dragon, is actually two carvings mounted together. Ludwig Kieninger's amazing talent was discovered by Mr. and Mrs. Irvin Samuels of Corsicana while they were traveling through Tennessee.
