Crudely modelled faienceamulet in the shape of a desert hare, with hole in the centre for stringing on a mummy. The hare is one of a series of amulets placed on the body in mummification in the Late Period and after. The animal serves in the hieroglyphic script to write the word 'wen', meaning 'existence'. Its speed may also have been considered a desirable quality for its owner in the afterlife, though no text survives specifying the meaning of these objects to the Egyptians.
