It's the Stanford Bunny.

It was preceded by the Utah Teapot. There's also the Cornell Box, for global illumination testing.

So, yeah, like Lena.

Teapotahedron, please. It's the sixth platonic solid.

I also vaguely remember one of the popular 3d software packages having a bald eagle as one of the primitives.

I've seen the bunny and the happy buddha the most often.
