Summary
A brown, clockwork, tinplate, rabbit made in Germany. The rabbit is sitting in a crouched position. The surface is painted to look like fur. Underneath there are two wheels and one cog, with a hole for the key on the side (key missing). The ears presumably move backwards and forwards when wound up.
