Believed
to represent nature's cycle of birth, life, death, decay
and rebirth, the mysterious origins of the Green Man are
lost in time.
Created by sculptors over the centuries, the leaf-framed
Green Man's mask can be found not only in churches and cathedrals
throughout the British Isles and Europe, but all over the
world.
Michael Rizzello's Green Man depicts a face of sunshine
and wind, surrounded by a flourish of forest foliage.
Holly and ivy spring from his hairline, mistletoe and oak
leaves form his flowing moustache, and a beard of luxuriant
laurel surrounds his chin.
Truly a face in harmony with the cycles of the natural world.
