Comments:Rawson 1995:It may have been a paper-weight or a tomb model. The relatively large numbers of hares suggests that they were especially favoured, perhaps because the hare was associated with the moon, where it was said to pour the elixir of immortality. See also BM 1937.0716.161 and compare with Wenwu 1992.I, pp. 86-8, pl. 8:1.
