Comments
This note depicts The Wildman of the woods (Wilder Mann) or Savage Man. The Wild man is a universal concept that exists in most cultures and is often depicted as a giant man, either naked or dressed in leaves, sometimes hairy like an animal, often armed with a club. The Wild Man is a common theme in art and literature as a personification of the savagery of nature and is particularly prevalent in the German culture appearing on coins or supporting heraldic crests. The image of the Wild Man is especially prevalent around forested, untamed areas such as Harz.
