with love. Rabbit 🐰

A striking duo of hand-carved sculptures, perfect for adding a touch of soulful, artisanal character to a shelf, mantelpiece, or sideboard.

​This set sourced from The Plum Dish features a man and woman, expertly carved from dense, heavy ebony hardwood. The craftsmanship is wonderful, with intricate "poker-work" textures on the garments and expressive, hand-tooled facial features.

​The female figure is particularly special, featuring a beautiful natural "sapwood" streak across her face—a testament to the authentic heartwood of the tree.

These aren't mass-produced stained wood; they are genuine, weighty carvings with a lovely natural lustre.
