A placemat, created for the Maulwerf family dinner table, sometime in the late 1970's (precise date unknown). Attributed to Bro. Luristoplier, due to the characteristically strange rendering of the dwarves' knees. Pencil on paper (laminated).
From the rich, sheltering earth, the mutterings of the blind brothers rise like a damp autumn fog.

The two-legged table is priceless.
I remember eating meals at the "Mole Hole" using these. I can't belive you still have one
Tolkien specifically mentions that the Hobbits built their tables with two "y-shaped" legs at either end, in the Swedish Modern style. The exact passage escapes me, but trust me, it's in there.
