Sweet Old Brown Folk Art Rabbit with White Spots die-cut short vertical tear--about parallel toNot your garden variety bunny; I have to think this spotted brown and white one might have been modeled on a someone's favorite pet rabbit, probably 80 or 90 years ago. With each of its long legs attached with a cluster of old nails, it stands sturdy on its own, looking as if about to win a race. I especially love the red for the eyes and echo of finer painted lines for paws and whiskers. Approx 8 1 2" long x 7" tall x 1 7 8" w, with a nice patina.
