God of the woods and nature, renewal and fertility, closely related to the (mainly) Irish god Cerunnos. He can be found peering from the corners of old churches and other buildings all over Britain and across Europe. I added the antlers to my Green Man to clearly identify him, especially in this pose which could be misinterpreted as being of Christ. He tosses the leaves from Spring into Autumn. The leaves of the clasp incorporate a serpent.
