Description: | A copper alloy figurine of a hare, probably Roman in date. The hare is standing with its front legs straight out in front, parallel to its forward facing hind feet. The hare has a bulbous section in its neck with the head being long, ears straight back and round bulbous eyes. There is a small loop on the back edge of the hare. It measures 32.4mm x 20.8mm x 5.6mm, weighing 14.42g. The database shows two other hare figurines of slightly different styles (NARC-EA98E1, KENT-9B0EB4). These are both dated to the Roman period, as are several other hare objects. The loop on the figurine is not necessarily uncommon.
