When Lisa Yashon at Harmony Ball decided to sell their Harmony Kingdom archives, that was a quick yes from me! This piece comes directly from the manufacturer, and has been checked for damage, arriving in the original box. So glad to have these great pieces back! ~ Jules

Secrets:
The Green Man, a face surrounded by leaves, is an ancient symbol. In different ages and different countries he has represented nature gods, ancestral faces, the Lord of Greenwood, a forest demon, or wild man. Here the Green Man is shown as a protective spirit of the forest, gathering all the birds, animals, and even fairies beneath his sheltering boughs. On the inside of the box figurine is an acorn cap. Acorns symbolize life, rebirth and immortality.
