Atlanta, Georgia: Pagan Storyteller: Buck Man
An antlered Buck Man once entertained assorted woodland creatures in an interpretation of where the name "Buckhead" originated. Unveiled on Feb. 28, 1999, it was removed in the Spring of 2015 and replaced with a statue of a rich man (who hated Buck Man). Buck Man reappeared in late 2016 outside the Buckhead Library, without most of his forest friends.

A large sculpture of a seated man with a buck head (get it....buckhead). He's holding a large tree branch staff (looks like it may have lights on it). Quite a unique thing to see in the middle of the bible belt. The statue reminded me of the old celtic Lord of the Wild Hunt. Definitely worth a look see.

The Storyteller, also known as The Buck Man, was created in 1998 by Frank Fleming. The bronze tableau in Buckhead Triangle Park includes small sculptures of woodland creatures, arrayed around a naked bronze man with an antlered buck head. He is sitting on a log and holding a forked pole with what looks like two lanterns on the top (for another pagan fountain creation by Fleming, head to 5-Points in Birmingham, Alabama). In the same neighborhood as a giant leaping fish and a couple of silvery naked men.
