Guardian of the Moon - Silver Rabbit & Moon Necklace

Regular price $185.00

Another lovely bunny joining the tribe. 

This time I offer just a couple of these. 

Beautifully decorated and shaped bunny in a micro size lives on a double bed of handmade sterling silver oval. Starry sky with the moon. 

Below a pretty ornament. 

It was time consuming and required patience but it was worth every minute I have spent. 

 Moon Guardian.  

Perfect hand-finished patina. 

1.5" without the bail. 

Enjoy!

  • China: The Moon Rabbit was brought to the moon by Chang’e, a woman who accidentally took too much of the Pill of Immortality and floated to the moon.
  • Japan & Korea: The Moon Rabbit was once studying Buddhism with a fox and a monkey. To test their faith, the Emperor of the Heavens asked them to bring him food. The fox caught a fish, and the monkey returned with fruit. The rabbit, who could find nothing but grass, jumped into a fire and offered himself. The Emperor was touched by its commitment, and appointed the rabbit as the guardian of the moon.

What is the rabbit pounding in the mortar?

  • China: Chinese herbal medicine to make elixir for Chang’e.
  • Japan: Mochi pounder.
  • Korea: Rice to make rice cakes.
