A Green Man is a sculpture, drawing, or other representation of a face surrounded by or made from leaves. Branches or vines may sprout from the nose, mouth, nostrils or other parts of the face and these shoots may bear flowers or fruit. Commonly used as a decorative architectural ornament, Green Men are frequently found on carvings in churches and other buildings (both secular and ecclesiastical). "The Green Man" is also a popular name for British public houses and various interpretations of the name appear on inn signs, which sometimes show a full figure rather than just the head. Many wear this as a pendant but it is also used as a decoration on shoulder bags and belt bags as there is a sturdy loop cast in place on the back. This greenman is 1 and 1/2 inches high. Hand cast at The Rams Horn and hangs on a black cotton cord. This is a nice sturdy, medium-sized pendant of the Greenman. This pendant has a loop on the back which makes it a very nice decoration sewn on a pouch!
