95: The Clee Baroque Green Man corbel Back to previous page  Back to Fine Stone Miniatures home page

Original stone finish (95)

This friendly, middle aged looking Green Man smiles benevolently down from his position as a corbel on a private house. Little is known about this Green Man, but he is thought to date from the 18th, or possibly 19th, century. Corbels are load bearing stones which project, cantilevered out from the wall, to support structural elements of the building above. The visible part of the corbel is often carved, whilst the larger portion of the stone is embedded in the surrounding masonry, providing a stable and solid platform. Typically, corbels support floor or roof joists and when placed in a row are termed a "corbel course" or "corbel table".
