Grandmother's Buttons 02-K901B Man In The Moon Ergs

Out of stock
The Czech glass buttons featured in these whimsical earrings depict a Man On The Moon who is wise and slightly amused. They are a wonderful example of how humans have always anthropomorphized the unattainable mystery of the moon.

The early Greeks, Romans, and Christians assigned the moon a female spirit, like that of the female biology which ebbs and flows with the tides that are controlled by the moon. Early modern Europeans regarded the moon with folkloric humor ascribing the Man In The Moon the personality of a foolish drunkard or ne'er do well.
