A rabbit carrying a basket of eggs, with pussy willow sprigs tucked in beside them, puts this picture squarely in the visual vocabulary of Easter. The rabbit as an egg-bringer came into German folk custom in the 1600s and traveled with immigrants to America, where it became a staple of greeting cards and illustrated children's books. Pussy willow, with its soft catkins that appear early in spring, signals the season's return and its link to renewal, which is why it so often appears alongside Easter motifs.
