Green Man Pages - Marburg

Green Man hunter Peter Scherer first made me aware of some of the Green Men in the Elizabethkirche, Marburg. Obviously I had to go and see them for myself! These first images are all on the arch over the rood screen separating the nave from the chancel. They are reported to date from around 1290, the same age as the stone rood screen. These, however are wood and don't fit either stylistically or architechtually to the rood screen.
