    It is a hare, the godess Ēostre liked to descend to the human plane disguised as a hare.

    @pascaline @mongoose yes. Certainly a hare. Just look at the profile of the face and those rear legs. Didn't know about Eostre's avatar though.

      It's the snail that really gets me about this image. I mean, it's fairly bizarre to start with, but the snail takes the weird to a whole new level.

      @mongoose one hell of a snail if he needs a falconry glove to perch on.

          It's such a terrific story, really, and so many don't know about it. But Easter, Ēostre, Ostara, it's all related. The hare is certainly not a rabbit, and absolutely no 'bunny' 😊

            @Virginicus I'm pretty sure you're not actually my best friend in disguise; but a) from your profile image you do look awfully like him, and b) you have his turn of phrase. You aren't by any chance related in some way to a professional tenor living in Bath, are you?

                    @Lkdc Thank you... I'm very conscious of the fact that not everyone is able to see images (clearly or at all), so I do my best to describe them as far as I can.

                      Turning and turning in the widening gyre
                      The snaile cannot hear the snailer;
                      Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold;

                            @mongoose the recent #RadioLab episode on snails' mating habits gives a cool theory about why they show up in a lot of old art. All to do with their Love Darts.
