Hare made of metal sheet. It belongs to the rim or handle decoration of a big bronze vessel, possibly a lebes or a tripod base. The rendering of the animal that runs to the viewer’s right is naturalistic and its front, conjoined, legs are raised. The little rectangular projections on the hare’s feet preserve bronze nails that fastened the sheet on the vessel.

Hares were a particularly popular artistic theme, usually pictured in the form of hare hunting either by other animals or humans. Equally frequent is the depiction of offering hares in a love or friendship gesture.
