This whimsical sculpture features a hare and horse standing together, their bodies intertwined as they gaze upwards in unison. The hare's long ears and the horse's flowing mane blend together in a beautiful, curved motion, creating a sense of harmony and balance between the two animals. The sculpture's smooth, rounded lines and gentle facial expressions evoke a sense of peace and tranquility, inviting viewers to pause and appreciate the beauty of nature.
A great sculpture by Sophie Ryder's The Hare has become the symbol of the city of Cirencester and the museum's logo since the discovery of this ancient Roman mosaic depicting the animal on its central roundel. The mosaic, dating to the 4th century AD, was discovered just below the road surface during archaeological excavations in Beeches Road in 1971. The hare is seen crouching amid foliag ein the act of nibbling shrub. Today, the mosaic graces the entrance foyer of the Corinium Museum.
