sprouting from his mouth, a kind of reverse version of what you describe
below. I searched in vain on one of my favorite websites, art-roman.net, but
didn't have time to examine every church listed. If this is any help,
perhaps one of the other listmembers might get you info on the
"foliage-sprouter," sometimes aka a Green Man. In fact, there may be links
between the Green Man and your query. Unfortunately that's about all I can
offer.

interesting metaphorical images, such as wisdom 'entering' the listener's
mind via the ears and 'putting down roots' there. Is there any (near)
contemporary iconography, I wonder, depicting similar processes?
