To usher in the year of the Rabbit are these 3 tiny rabbits purportedly from the Xizhou era(1027-771BC)
They are made in the true-blue Xizhou style of small zoomorphic animals which are carved from thin flat slabs of jade, turquoise and agate.
The largest piece made from turquoise measures 3x1.7cm.
The jade rabbit measures 3x1.5cm
while the smallest measures 2.3x0.5cm
The obverse of this rabbit has been completely eroded.
So Bunnies may you all hop in with a rich Bounty of good Jian Kang and Ping An for 2011, Year of the Rabbit !
