Reproduction Gothic Green Man Carving by Oakapple Designs
‘Green Man of Winchester Taken from the Medieval carvings found upon the Misericords and supports within the choir stalls of Winchester Cathedral. These carvings are significant as they are virtually the oldest surviving Misericord carvings in England and therefore give a true insight and glance of the cultural values and life of early 14th Century England. This is most likely to be the oldest surviving depiction of the Green Man found in England. The carving is one of the most stunning and beautiful depictions of this pagan image that can be found within England’s heritage and history. The portrait shows the classic image of a man’s face surrounded by leave foliage, this depiction is dominated by foliage but still gives the man character and expression. This is one of our unique and exclusive designs from our collection of hand crafted reproduction carvings which are taken directly from an original medieval Cathedral carving.’
