A molded silk paper mask was covered with beaded leaves partly attached to the mask and extended with peyote stitch. Other leaves were added over the base leaves.
The Green Man is a recurring theme in English folklore. He has been depicted over many centuries in stonework on cathedrals and buildings as a face with leaves growing out of it or as a mask of leaves. When Oak leaves are shown, he is also know as Okean. The Green Man is a figure in early British religions.
