Hand-Carved Wooden Rabbit Rocker

This hand-carved wooden rabbit has the quiet confidence of true folk art—simple, intentional, and made to be lived with rather than displayed behind glass. The form is stylized rather than literal: an elongated body, curled base, incised facial features, and restrained painted accents in muted green and terracotta tones. There are 2 holes on the top of the head ready for a textile or foliage to act as ears.
 
The carving shows clear evidence of hand tools throughout—visible knife marks, softened edges from handling, and natural wear consistent with age and use rather than modern distressing. The surface retains remnants of its original paint, now gently worn and matte, allowing the grain of the wood to remain present and honest.
