The hare was a sacred animal for the Celts, a symbol of abundance, prosperity and good fortune. Our bronze sculpture was inspired by the legend of Melangell, the patron saint of hares. Melangell was a Celtic princess who escaped an unwanted arranged marriage. She took refuge in the Pennant Valley and created a place of peace and sanctuary for animals and people in need. This limited edition bronze was created by Charlie Mallon using the ancient lost wax method of casting.
