Gopeng Rabbit Ornament 15cm - Black

The Gopeng is a black rabbit ornament, modelled in a sitting pose with its back legs splayed and its tall ears held upright. The surface has a fine, grainy texture with a matt look, so it reads as quiet and solid rather than shiny, and a natural raffia bow tied at the neck adds a soft, warm contrast to all that black. It stands 15cm tall, 12.5cm long and 8cm wide, a compact size that sits happily on a bookshelf, a windowsill or the corner of a desk without crowding the things around it.

It belongs indoors, in a living room, a hallway or a bedroom, anywhere a small figure can catch the eye. The black colour is the useful part: it sits well against white walls and pale wood, it holds its own beside houseplants and books, and it suits a monochrome scheme as easily as a warmer, natural one. Because it is a rabbit, it is an obvious choice for spring and Easter displays, yet the plain colour and simple form mean it does not look out of place in July or November, so it can stay put all year. It also makes a thoughtful small gift for anyone who likes animal figures but wants nothing twee.

The detail most people would not guess from a figure this size is its weight: at 1.03KG it feels reassuringly solid in the hand, and it sits firmly where you place it, so a passing elbow or a curious cat is less likely to topple it. The grainy black surface runs over every part of the rabbit, from the tips of the ears to the rounded feet, and the raffia bow is tied in a simple knot at the neck. Choose a level spot indoors with a little space around it, so the tall ears and the bow have room to show.

Can the Gopeng rabbit go outside in the garden?

We recommend keeping it indoors. The record gives no outdoor rating for this ornament, so a shelf, mantelpiece or windowsill inside the house is the right home for it.

How big is the black rabbit ornament?

It stands 15cm tall, 12.5cm long and 8cm wide, small enough for a narrow shelf or windowsill yet tall enough to be noticed.

How heavy is it?

It weighs 1.03KG, which is more than most people expect from a figure of this size, so it sits firmly on a shelf or a desk.

What material is the bow at its neck?

The bow is natural raffia, tied in a simple knot, and its pale straw colour gives a warm contrast to the textured black rabbit.

What kind of finish does the rabbit have?

It has a black, grainy textured surface with a matt look that covers the whole figure, from the tips of its ears to its rounded feet.

Does it suit a display beyond spring?

Yes. Its plain black colour and simple sitting pose suit a shelf in any month, so it works at Easter and through the rest of the year.
