There's an astounding amount of detail crafted into this 11 mm portrait of the Arctic hare, stock-still as it detects a predator with its large ears and eyes. Expert engraving conveys the texture of its famously warm winter fur, complete with darkened ear tips that have evolved to absorb heat from the Arctic sun.
