- (165:18) "that face with the vines and leaves growing out of the mouf"
A Green Man, and although Riddley doesn't say so, there are several stone carvings very much like this in the cathedral (as well as other styles of Green Man without the vines). In fact, one of the columns with the zig-zag pattern mentioned above is topped with a design of startled-looking, rather lion-like heads disgorging thick curling vines, shown here.
