Rabbit. Oldtown Ruin. Diam. 7½″.

The author excavated at Oldtown a food bowl, the figure on which was undoubtedly intended for a rabbit. The head, ears, body, legs, and tail are well made, leaving no question of the intention of the artist; but if there were any doubt of the identification it is dispelled by the representation of the mouth, on which the sensitive hairs or bristles are represented.
