This 3,5 cm tall figure of a hare looking at the moon is made of resin and has an antique bronze finish. It comes with a full colour information card featuring a Celtic stylized motif of hares chasing each other. Also included is historical text describing the myth of the hare in antiquity. Both the figure and the folded card are packaged in a transparent box.
The myth of the hare looking at the moon is almost universal and dates back to antiquity. The hare is traditionally associated with lunar deities and can symbolize fertility. For the early inhabitants of Britain, the hare was of great significance; Boudica released a hare at the start of each new campaign against the Romans. Even today, hares can be seen - just as our ancestors saw them - silhouetted against the evening horizon.
This statue is part of a series of beautifully detailed miniature models. The collection, whose inspiration dates back to ancient Egypt, includes statues of animals, birds, famous statues, emperors and kings and queens.
