Item Details

Description

Pre-Columbian, Mexico, Vera Cruz culture, ca. 6th to 8th century CE. A delightful small figure of a rabbit, molded and hand-modeled in a standing position, with hands in front of its body and ears perked; the face is expressive, with a huge nose. Standing rabbits are curious rabbits, trying to get a better view, and you can imagine his nose twitching as he attempts to discern whatever he is looking for. Size: 2.1" W x 3.25" H (5.3 cm x 8.3 cm)

Rabbits were a domesticated animal in ancient Mesoamerica; for example, there is a rabbit farm and butcher shop that has been excavated in the Teotihuacan neighborhood of Oztoyahualco that contained remains of six different kinds of rabbits. These seem to have been bred both as pets and as food. Whoever made this figure was probably familiar with the animals and may have even modeled this inquisitive fellow on their own special lagomorph.
