A Royal Doulton Bunnykins ceramic figurine depicting a rabbit character in World War II military attire. The piece, titled Homeguard, shows a brown-furred rabbit standing on a circular integral base with a textured green grass finish. The figure is dressed in a brown British Home Guard tunic complete with yellow-toned webbing pouches and straps, a white gas mask bag slung diagonally across the torso, and a brown helmet. The rabbit holds a grey-painted rifle. The underside of the figurine features a printed backstamp with a crown symbol and the circular text ‘HAND MADE AND HAND DECORATED’. The central Bunnykins logo is present, with text identifying the maker as ‘by ROYAL DOULTON’ from the ‘WORLD WAR II COLLECTION’, the model as ‘HOMEGUARD’, and the model number ‘DB 371’. It is also marked ‘DESIGNED IN ENGLAND’ and ‘© 2005 ROYAL DOULTON’.
