16th Century Carved Oak Panel of the Mandrake / Mandragora . Here is a little history of the root of the mandrake renowned to be one of the scariest plants. You may know the Mandrake from Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets. The Mandrake has centuries old history as one of the most important and powerful plants in witchcraft, sorcery and herbal medicine. The legends tell the tails of a plant with a human body which induces love and conception and brings fortune wealth and power. This panel is of the Mandrake surrounded by curling tendrils with two small beasts of evil spirits. Such fun.
