The Hare was a symbol of good luck.

Its value stemmed from its quick reproduction and ability to survive in the desert, as well as its speed.

In Egyptian hieroglyphs, the term “wn” signifies both "hare" and "to be",

which explains the symbolic importance of the animal.

The animal was associated with the protective goddess Wenut.

Hare-shaped amulets, made of faience, were quite popular during the Late Period.

These amulets were worn to ensure that the wearer would be swift and alert

and be able to escape from dangers of all sorts, and also functioned as a fertility charm.
