EDITORS COMMENTS
This image showcases a beautifully preserved rabbit figurine from the Early Roman Period (30 BCE-395 CE). The exact origin of this artifact is unknown, but it is believed to have been created in Egypt during the 1st century BC or the 4th century AD. The rabbit is rendered in exquisite detail, with its alert ears, expressive eyes, and intricately textured fur. This piece is an excellent example of the ancient Egyptian art tradition that influenced the Early Roman Period. The rabbit is depicted in a close-up, studio shot, allowing the viewer to appreciate the intricacies of its form. The figurine is made of faience, a type of ceramic that was popular during this time period. The rabbit is covered in a vibrant turquoise glaze, giving it a striking and eye-catching appearance. The rabbit's ears are adorned with tiny, intricate details, and its eyes are painted with a darker shade of glaze to give them depth and character. The base of the figurine is plain, suggesting that it may have been intended to be displayed on a shelf or table. This rabbit figurine is now part of the collection at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA). It is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of ancient Egypt and the Early Roman Period, and a reminder of the enduring appeal of animal sculpture in art.
