Renee, Because the original use of the object isn't really as a Recreational Artifact, I'd opt for it being in Communication Artifacts / Advertising Medium (note definition on p III-19), object name: PIECE, DISPLAY, with either WINDOW or MECHANICAL RABBIT as a modifier (according to instructions under the heading) with the former preferable, but perhaps depending on your catalog system's capability to allow you to find it as a rabbit in some other way when you need to. (Such as full word search capability, or through a subject heading system, etc.). Have fun! They will be fun to use in an exhibit someday! Lucy Sperlin > Renee Kurtzweil wrote: > > Ok you all!
