The following image is from a Kerr buckle. I see this face and other similar faces appear in silver motifs. It is often referred to as "Green Man". Why? What is the mythology?

The "Green Man" is a very early Celtic pagan figure symbolizing spring and the rebirth of life (vegetation) that occurs. The design around the head is intended to be green branches and leaves. I am privileged to have seen an extremely early stone version of the green man in a castle ruin in County Tipperary, Ireland. IP: Logged |
