This pendant represents a divinity holding a pair of over-sized hares. Standing in a frontal pose, the figure's gender is indeterminate, but may be a mistress of the beasts or native female hunting deity related to Artemis. Wearing a short chiton and boots, the figure grasps the hind feet of a large crouching hare in each arm, holding the animals with their heads downward.
