Green Man was a near ubiquitous folkloric motif throughout the Western Europe, not just in Britain. For instance, Walloon-hilted swords of similar vintage as the sword above, perhaps 50 years earlier, sometimes feature the Green Man mask inset in the shell guards.
It did find a second life in the Victorian Britain during the Gothic Revival. |
