He is not a hobbit, neither a man, but what is he? Is he a dwarf? A wizard? A god? Something else entirely?

very cool to know.. it may have been a pretty common practice at one time..
Japanese do this too especially in pottery, it seems like a very old form of artisanry
oohh, thank you for sharing that.. yes, it seems to belong to the very beginning of artistry itself..
I'm pretty sure Islamic art does a similar thing too, to highlight humanity's imperfection or something.
