MODIFICACIÓN - TE ESPERO


This is a "Green man" (Wikipedia). Is an sculpture from 6th/7th centuries, both religious and pagan. I am a "Green man" collector, and I have thousands of samples from all over Spain, England and Portugal. Nevertheless, I do not agree with the current mean given to the Green man by the people, since I have seen samples in all churches (Cathedral of Palencia, Llanes, or Los Jerónimos-Lisbon: a real tribute to them!). In the churches are ever located in strategical places. Anyway, as historian I am, I can not say what is the real meaning of that.
