Painted Wooden Rabbit Sculpture. Handmade in Yucatan, Mexico.

In Mesoamerican cultures, rabbits held deep symbolic significance. The Maya revered them as symbols of fertility and abundance, associated with the Moon Goddess Ix Chel. Their prolific nature mirrored the moon's phases, emphasizing regeneration and procreation.

The Aztecs, on the other hand, saw rabbits as celestial beings. The god Ometochtli, or "Two Rabbit," presided over festivity and excess, leading the "400 Rabbits," gods of drunkenness. The rabbit's image also adorned the Aztec Moon Goddess Coyolxauhqui, reinforcing its lunar and fertility symbolism.

Thus, in these ancient cultures, the rabbit was a potent symbol, intertwining the mystique of the moon with themes of fertility, celebration, and life's cyclical nature.
