The Moon rabbit or Moon hare is a mythical figure in East Asian and American Indian folklore, based on the imagination that the dark markings on the near side of the Moon is a magical rabbit or hare.

The idea also has roots in an ancient Buddhist teaching of kindness and self-sacrifice and also as a Pagan symbol which originated in Medieval England. Whereas many cultures today refer to the "man on the moon", a few centuries ago the image of a hare was in fact more commonplace - hence the name "hare moon".

The hare is a symbol of regeneration, fertility, and magic!

Full description

A unique hanging decoration, hand cast by me from plaster and carefully painted with acrylics. The disc measures 7cm in diameter and features a sleeping golden hare on a crescent moon on the front side. The reverse side is embellished with a circular pattern of swirls and dots in pearl and gold and the entire piece is finished with satin varnish for a subtle sheen.

A spiral hook, for hanging, is included and it is presented in it’s own Christmas-themed cotton bag.

Designed by Claudia in Worcestershire
