In Chinese mythology it was believed that a white rabbit lived on the moon, pounding herbs for the immortals. This imagery originated from early Chinese poets observing dark spots on the moon, which they interpreted as a rabbit’s outline. The rabbit as a symbol embodies longevity, peace and prosperity.

The work also features a distinctive purple plum on the lid. Plums and plum blossoms are symbolic of resilience, perseverance and hope. Plum blossoms bloom in March and so are also seen as a harbinger of Spring!
