One of my all-time favorite chapters in JRR Tolkien's The Hobbit is titled Riddles in the Dark. It is here that Bible first encounters Gollum and it is here that the two enter a battle of wits.
Biblo, hopelessly lost after his narrow escape from the capture of the Goblins (and I won't give away much more than that!!) happens on a creature named Gollum in the dark tunnels under the mountain and enters a battle of riddles.
At the end Bilbo can no longer think of any riddles and instead asks Gollum to guess the contents of his pocket. Enraged at the unfair 'riddle', it's a good thing that Bible had Sting by his side to keep Gollum from.... well, I'll let you read that part!
This 10-1/2" x 17-1/2" engraving includes all seven riddles that Gollum and Bilbo ask one another in Chapter 5 of The Hobbit. The font used adds a bit of charm to the piece as it has a olde English feel to it. Answers are, of course, not printed on the front to add to the mystery and fun. (I will engrave the answers on the back at no added charge if you like. Just message me when ordering.)
The riddles are engraved on a Maple and Framed in Walnut. The frame is engraved with a Celtic style engraving, which again I believe adds to the charm of the piece.
The story of the riddles was very dear to Bible, so much so that he included it in his story of There and Back Again, or The Hobbit as it is commonly known. I personally think that Bilbo would have commemorated this exchange with Gollum in a very similar way and would have framed it and hung it at Bag End as well.
