A gray-cyan jade rabbit pendant is set to have viewers hopping to it as the Year of the Rabbit dawns.

The top-rated relic at the Tianjin Museum of Art is believed to have been unearthed from Shang Dynasty (1766-1122 BC) ruins in Henan province. The museum acquired it from a private collector in the 1950s.

The small artifact - 3.1 cm high, 6.4 cm wide, and 0.4 cm thick - is a big deal in archeological terms.
