The Three Hares
The Hare appears in many different mythologies in many different cultures. One recurring motif in many different cultures is the image of three hares joined by the ears.
Now a British team of scientists are going to get to the bottom of it.
“British researchers are heading to a remote part of western China to try and unravel one of archaeology’s most puzzling mysteries – why the same sacred symbol has been found in apparently unconnected ancient sites around the world. Depictions of three hares joined by the ears can be seen in British medieval churches, 13th century Mongol metalwork and temples from China’s Sui dynasty of the 6th and 7th Century, the Daily Telegraph reported on Saturday.” – IOL Science and Tech
