Yet another sculpture in the collection from my other half!

The Three Hares Mystery

What does this ancicent symbol mean?

It probably had different meanings in different cultures.

What we can be sure of, is that it has been found in holy places

of many religions.

It has appeared in many places around the world, from roof areas

of churches in Devon to the ceilings of Buddhist cave temples in China.

The clever design shows three hares/rabbits each with only one ear, but

joined in such a way, they appear to have two ears each.

The Hare is believed to have mystical links to the female cycle and to the

moon that governs it.

Also believed to have links to the Greenman.

The Tinners guild of Devon and Cornwall carved their badge of three hares

in a number of West Country churches. This may be because both hares/rabbits and miners dig tunnels.

The Hare is also associated with madness, fertility, love and good fortune.

Made in Cornwall by us at Firwel Crafts from the original sculpture by Tony Firks and hand finished in a bronze effect from the finest Crystacast, a specially formulated hard surface plaster.

Each plaque is individually numbered & signed by the sculptor and comes complete with a signed authentication certificate.

Approximate size 16.5cm Dia
