The GREAT - & timely - links posted indicate that the egg is a common Christian artifact. Am I right in understanding that the unique, or at least, rare, hare is thought to be pagan?
This example certainly isn't thought to have any Christian links :)
Could be seen as a piece of '50s modern art 
Hardly alone I know, I have been struck by how many paintings & other pieces of art from earlier eras, e.g. Sumerian & prehistoric, resembles modern art.
It looks to me that to represent a hare the ears have been deliberately lengthen, we might call it ‘folk art’ but that might be a misreading
Does this have a function? It seems more than art with those ears.
