This is a rabbit-shaped container housed at the Tokyo National Museum. It was carved from white jade during the Qing dynasty (18th–19th century). It really looks like a rabbit running through a field, doesn't it? The rabbit represents longevity in China.
China has a long history of crafting fine objects from jade and other gemstones using the qiaose technique, where artisans carve the stone to cleverly incorporate its natural color variations and hues.
