Balinese
Rabbit
The
rabbit is one of the most ancient fertility symbols. "Mate and procreate"
is their mantra. In China it was once believed that a female rabbit could
get pregnant just by staring at the moon, and the lunar association is
widely found. The contemporary chocolate Easter bunny is a throwback to
the spring Goddess Eostre whose rabbit familiar could lay colored eggs.
Here we see a rabbit brought to us from Bali as a wedding gift in 1984
by Paul Graham. We found it poking around the flower patch in the moonlight.
This image is ideal for those seeking to start a family, those yearning
for a fertile garden, and those for whom an active sexlife could stand
a boost from the energizer bunny.
This
image is available as 8x10 framed print, t-shirt, candle and greeting
card.
