Green Man – Winchester Cathedral.

This is one of our unique and exclusive designs from our collection of hand crafted reproduction carvings which are taken directly from an original medieval Cathedral carving. We pride ourselves at Oakapple Designs as having permission to take moulds directly from the medieval carvings found upon the misericords and choir stalls from within the Cathedrals and Churches in the UK. Our moulds and production techniques capture and reproduce all the fine detail from the original carvings to produce a very high-quality piece with all the authenticity from the original carving.

Taken from the Medieval C.1300 carvings found upon the Misericords and supports within the choir stalls of Winchester Cathedral. These carvings are significant as they are virtually the oldest surviving Misericord carvings in England and therefore give a true insight and glance of the cultural values and life of early 14th Century England. This carving is catalogued as Green Man #2 in our product range and only surpassed in popularity by the smaller Green Man #1 from Lincoln, however this has more interest, as this is most likely to be the oldest surviving depiction of the Green Man found in England. The carving is one of the most stunning and beautiful depictions of this pagan image that can be found within England’s heritage and history. The portrait shows the classic image of a man’s face surrounded by leave foliage, this depiction is dominated by foliage but still gives the man character and expression. This reproduction is taken from the original carving and has captured all the fine detail that was applied by the master craftsmen that created this great work of wood sculpture. Designed to be wall mounted this reproduction artefact makes a most interesting and inspiring focal point when on display, comes with a hanging fixture and product label.

Size 14cm Diameter.

This is great opportunity to purchase a true piece of England’s Rich Cultural History.
