Description

Taken from the Medieval C.1300 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 portrait shows the classic image of a mans face totally surrounded by leave foliage, this depiction is dominated by foliage but still gives the man character and expression.  Comes with wall fixing and a product label.

Size 14cm Diameter

These replicas are made by making a mould from the original carvings and then make a cast from resin. These are extremely close to the original and show all the cracks and wood grain.All the replicas are hand painted and finished.
