# Green Man Wall Plaque with Long Beard and Berries in Leaf Hair 13H

## Leaves for Hair, Berries at His Brow: The Green Man Wall Plaque

A lifelike face peers out from a head of leaves and a long beard. This **Green Man wall plaque** is painted in vibrant green, with berries tucked into the foliage. He is a vegetation deity of regeneration and the renewal of every season.

The foliate head appears in carved stone and wood across medieval Europe, often in churches. Craftsmen gave him leaves for hair and vines from his mouth. No one record explains why he was carved so often. A foliate head wall hanging like this one keeps that look.

Many see him as a link between older nature belief and Christian imagery. His look of renewal made him a favorite subject for carvers of capitals and roof bosses. This Green Man wall plaque carries that tradition into the home.

## A Face Grown from the Forest

The beard and hair merge into one mass of oak-like leaves. Berries add color and a sense of harvest. This foliate head wall hanging treats the forest as a living portrait. The Green Man with berries appears to watch the seasons turn.

Every season returns, and so does the Green Man. See more in our [medieval collection](/collections/era-medieval). The vegetation deity plaque suits a hall, garden room, or study. This vegetation deity plaque also pairs well with plants.

## The Green Man in Medieval Art

The Green Man is a carved face surrounded or formed by leaves. Examples survive in cathedrals, parish churches, and manuscripts, mostly from the 11th to the 16th centuries. The name was coined in 1939 by Lady Raglan in a study of church carvings. The figure remains a popular emblem of spring, growth, and the cycle of the year.
