The anthropomorphic rabbit is modelled wearing a textured brown monk’s habit and cowl, cinched with a yellow knotted cord belt. The figure features brown and white fur detailing with dark eyes, holding a green book under one arm and wearing a dark crucifix necklace. The character stands upon a circular, green-glazed base with a stippled, grassy texture. The underside features comprehensive black printed marks including a backstamp with a lion surmounting a crown over a circular emblem. The inscriptions read HAND MADE AND HAND DECORATED, Bunnykins by ROYAL DOULTON, FRIAR TUCK BUNNYKINS, THE ROBIN HOOD COLLECTION, DB 246, and MADE IN ENGLAND, alongside a 2000 copyright date. A small hand-painted mark in the form of a y and a printed character resembling a figure-eight are also present to the base.
