Romano-Celtic God - Tree Agat and Pewter pendant necklace # 128

When I purchased this pendent, the seller told me that it was an image of a Green Man. That seemed reasonable enough to me, there are plenty of Green Man images that look a bit like this one. Turns out he's a little bit more than a generic Green Man. The Pendent is based on a Romano-Celtic Sun God plaque found at Bath. "There are some who believe the face may represent the legendary Druid King of the Britons, King Bladud, 8th King after Brute, father of King Lear, and son of King Hudibrae also known as Lud. Bladud discovered the healing powers of the hot springs and founded the baths in Bath in 865BC. He was also a great magician, philosopher and mathematician. According to legend he even mastered the secrets of flying. Note the wings on the side of the head which suggest a connection with flying. Another interpretation of this face is as a Sun God sailing in his serpent boat, with hair and beard billowing away from his face like rays of heat and light.
