Can anyone help me identify a carving in my fireplace mantel in my 1908 Victorian bungalow in Charlotte NC ?  I don't have a picture but the description is that it appears to be an insect with the face of a man.  Vines with leaves extend from the body.  If this sounds familiar to anyone please let me know because it is creeping me out a bit.  Thanks!
I don't think anyone can provide any meaningful guidance without a photo.
