Boxing Hares Wall Plaque
The traditional ‘Mad March Hare’ behaviour which involves boxing, is actually unreceptive females fending off males.
Being the fastest land animals in the UK, brown hares escape predators by out-running them. The hare is known to be sacred to the goddess Eostre and eventually became known as the Easter bunny, it is believed to represent growth, re-birth, abundance and good fortune.
At Easter we eat Hot-Cross-Buns, the cross on the bun is said to represent the four quarters of the moon, these buns were originally pagan offerings.
Finished in a bronze effect. Suitable for hanging on a wall in the garden or inside.
Approximate size 5 1/2" Diameter.
