Green Man
Foliage-wreathed visage
The Green Man is a specific folkloric or architectural motif—a face composed of or surrounded by leaves, found carved in churches, cathedrals, and historic buildings across Europe.
The figure represents nature's vitality and the cycle of death and rebirth.
Green Man is also a common British pub name, often featuring this leafy visage on the sign: We're meeting at the Green Man tonight. (Lowercase green man is the generic term or pedestrian signal figure.)
