In Judaism, the rabbit is considered an unclean animal, because "though it chews the cud, does not have a divided hoof." [2] [note 1] This led to derogatory statements in the Christian art of the Middle Ages, and to an ambiguous interpretation of the rabbit's symbolism. The "shafan" in Hebrew has symbolic meaning.
The symbol features three hares or rabbits chasing each other in a circle. Like the triskelion, [8] the triquetra, and their antecedents (e.g., the triple spiral), the symbol of the three hares has a threefold rotational symmetry. Each of the ears is shared by two hares, so that only three ears are shown.
