Heavy Double Bale on back.  Weighs 19.84 grams The image of the Green man may have been adapted from Roman decorative stonework, or from Celtic interlace figures. Older versions bear a very close resemblance to Celtic and Norse interlace figures, and often combine plant and animal features. One of the oldest examples was discovered on an Irish obelisk that dates to the third century BCE. This may be the Derg Corra of Celtic myth, the man in the tree. The name "green man" was coined in the late 1930s. Other names for this figure are Jack in Green of Jack of the Green. Many believe the greenman is related to the pre-Christian Celtic deity Cernunnos; others that it is simply an expression of the forces of nature, or even a reminder that we, too, are part of the cycle of life. The Green Man is now an unmistakable mascot of the Neo-pagan religious movement, where he symbolizes the embodiment of untamed nature, an emblem of the male principal, and a symbol of fertility and vibrant life energy.
