 Green Man #3 (Chester Cathedral).

Taken from the Medieval  (C.1380) carvings found upon the misericords and supports from within the choir stalls of Chester Cathedral. This carving is of the legendary pagan image of the Green Man. This is an ancient symbol dating back to at least Pagan times and represents the eternal cycle of life, from birth to death and then to be carried on through rebirth in the next generation. This has very close links with Mother Nature and the natural world and the connections and similarities with all life upon this planet. Life being mortal for us all but the cycle of life is forever.

This reproduction has been taken from the original carving that captures all the fine detail that is found in the original. Designed to be wall mounted this artefact makes a beautiful and attractive focal point in the home. This product comes with a hanging hook and product label.
