Description
This small rabbit of holly wood and the rabbit bookend of apple wood were both carved by James Oscar Penland (b. 1882). Penland was a member of the Brasstown community and was one of the many locals who contributed time and labor to help start the John C. Campbell Folk School in the mid-1920s. Penland sold his carvings through the school's woodcarving cooperative that started in 1929 and later came to be known as the Brasstown Carvers.
