In the UK we have #Shires and in a previous career I did some work on this tapestry from the 1590s, which is a map of Herefordshire & Worcestershire. It had been protected from the light for 100s of years, hence the bright colours. For a transliteration of the poem see Alt text. #Tapestry #Elizabethan #HistoricTextiles

Rabbits & hares proliferated in European art from the 13th century, as luxury goods travelling along the Silk Route brought design ideas from Asia.

The hare as Medieval textile symbol

Depictions of hares on textiles of this period are not entirely common, which makes it all the more surprising how rich in symbolism these creatures were.
