Where Does This Knocker Fit Best?

Its powerful symbolism and artistic design will appeal to lovers of history, mythology, fantasy, and Celtic culture. It is a statement piece that transforms an ordinary door into a portal to a world of legends, giving your home an aura of mystery and protection.

The Mystery of the Green Man

The Green Man is an ancient and enigmatic symbol that appears across cultures and centuries. His roots likely extend back to pagan times, where he was associated with nature deities, fertility, and the endless cycle of life. Although pagan in origin, he was adopted with surprising popularity into Christian architecture, especially during the Gothic period. His leaf-covered faces can still be found carved into the walls of famous cathedrals and churches today, where they symbolize the indestructible force of nature and humanity's connection to the earth.

Interesting Fact: Faces in the Stone

One of the most famous and abundant collections of Green Man carvings can be found in the renowned Rosslyn Chapel in Scotland. This small but legend-steeped chapel houses more than 100 depictions of him. Each one is unique, and together they form a fascinating gallery of this mysterious symbol that continues to inspire artists and researchers worldwide.
