| Romano Hare |
Tinners Rabbit |
The Hare evolved on the
grassland steppe of central Asia and spread west with Neolithic man.
The original British Hares were the mountain creatures confined to
the Scottish Highlands and now the English Peak District.
The Brown Hare was introduced at the time of the Romans, or perhaps
a little earlier, maybe up to 2000 years ago.
The image depicting the single hare is taken from a Romano British
Brooch, found in Scotland so it is possibly a reworking of and early
Pictish symbol. The Tinners Hare design appears as a carving on many church roof bosses in
southern England, particularly around Dartmoor. In a global
context, the symbol is far more ancient and is found across Europe
to Southern Russia, Iran, Nepal and China with meanings ranging from
divination to resurrection. Maybe the symbol traces an ancient trade
route; perhaps one along which tin would have been transported,
hence the West Country connection
