The rabbit has a circular tail and a sign is on its front midsection. The head and neck are more three-dimensional, with eyes, nose, three whiskers on each side, and two ears on top. The rabbit is painted, mostly in brown "fur" with black accents. White "fur" with black accents appears on the tail, neck, and underside of the head. The ears are yellow and black, the whiskers black, and the nose and inner ears pink. The sculpture is set directly on the ground.

    Sculpture
    Owner: 
    Brown, Robert, Walpole Valley Road, RR 1, Box 584A, Walpole, New Hampshire 03608
    Provenance: 
    Formerly in the collection of Taylor, Robert, Pratt Road, Alstead, New Hampshire
    Remarks: 
    The sculpture was originally painted black and sited at the Alstead home of artist Robert Taylor, behind his mailbox. In 1993, it was remodeled and repainted, and presented as a gift to Robert Brown who installed at its present site. At that time, it was retitled "Rabbit Brown," a pun on the new owner's name. The number on the sculpture (illegible) refers to the sculpture's chronologic order within artist Raymon Taylor's work during 1987. IAS files contain an excerpt from Helen H. Frink's "Alstead Through the Years, 1763-1990," Alstead Historical Society, 1992, pg. 423-424.
