About this product

Look up in many an old European church and he is there, peering from a roof boss or a column capital: a face made of leaves. This roundel brings him down to the size of a large button, cast in bronze, his beard and wreath of oak leaves worked in enough relief to throw real shadow, so his expression shifts with the light.

Foliate heads like this appear on churches, cathedrals and civic buildings right across medieval Europe. The name Green Man is comparatively modern, coined by Lady Raglan in a 1939 article; folklore since has read him as a spirit of vegetation and the returning spring, of growth that cannot be held back for long.

Each roundel is cast in a small foundry from a hand-sculpted original, then given a chemical patina that darkens the hollows of the foliage while the raised face stays brighter, a contrast that keeps shifting with handling over the years.

Details

  • Cast bronze roundel, about the size of a large button
  • Plain reverse with a small loop
  • Threaded on a waxed cord dyed deep forest green

How to use

Wear him at your neck, or keep him in a desk drawer or coat pocket, where a hand can find him on a hard day.

A small, patient face of the greenwood, ready to come home with you.
