Standing hare sculpture – wild beauty, responsibly crafted
Bring the spirit of the countryside into your home or garden with thiscaptivating Standing Hare Sculpture. A bold and evocative piece, it captures the alert stance and lively essence of the hare – a symbol of grace, agility, and wild wonder.
A unique creation with purpose and soul
Handcrafted in Zimbabwe by skilled local artisans, each sculpture is forged from recycled metal oil drums, giving new life to discarded materials. The process not only celebrates sustainable reuse, but also supports fair employment and traditional craftsmanship.
Because every hare is shaped by hand, no two are exactly alike. Each carries its own texture, lines, and character, ensuring your sculpture is truly one of a kind.
A striking addition to any space
Whether displayed among garden blooms, welcoming guests at your front door, or standing tall in a hallway or conservatory, this sculpture brings a sense of dynamism and natural presence to any setting. Its weathered finish and robust construction make it equally suited to indoor or outdoor use.

Frequently asked questions
What are the dimensions?
Each sculpture stands approximately 60–70cm tall, though size may vary slightly due to the handmade nature.

Yes. It is weather-resistant, though we recommend applying a clear metal sealant if placed in exposed conditions to help preserve its finish.
Will my sculpture look exactly like the photo?
Not exactly – and that’s part of the charm. Each hare is individually handcrafted, so textures and posture may differ slightly.
