Gopeng Rabbit Ornament 19.7cm - Black

The Gopeng is a black rabbit ornament made as a bust: a long-eared rabbit with its chin propped on both hands and a carrot tucked at its side, wearing a quiet, daydreaming smile. The ears stand tall and upright, which gives a small piece real presence and height. It measures 19.7cm tall, 12cm long and 9.5cm wide, so it fits comfortably on a bookshelf, a mantelpiece or a deep windowsill without crowding its neighbours. The finish is matt black with a gently textured surface that takes the light softly rather than throwing back glossy reflections, so the detail of the face, hands and ears shows clearly.

This is an indoor piece, and it suits almost any room that could use a little character: a hallway console, a kitchen dresser, a bedside table or a child's bookcase. Being black, it stands out crisply against white walls and pale wood, and it sits just as comfortably among darker shelves where a brighter ornament would shout. The thoughtful pose makes it a good-humoured choice for anyone who likes animal figures but finds the cuter ones too sugary. It is a natural fit for a spring or Easter table, and plain enough in colour to stay out all year, long after the chocolate eggs have gone.

At 1.6KG it has a reassuring weight in the hand, and the broad base lets it sit steadily, so it is less likely to topple when you dust a shelf or a door swings nearby. The ears are the most slender part of the figure, so we suggest lifting it by the body rather than by the ear tips. It is a single piece with no parts to fit together, so it is ready to display straight away. Give it a spot with a little clear space around the ears and it will hold its own on even a busy shelf.
