A hare from the margins of a manuscript
The fighting hare comes from medieval marginalia, small drawings in the margins of manuscripts. Scribes and illuminators used these spaces to play with a world turned upside down, where the prey stands up to the hunter. The design is loosely based on a scene in the early 14th-century Breviary of Renaud de Bar, in which a hare faces a hunting dog.
