In regards to Husseins portrait with an ivy background, this as well has an ivy background and relates to the pagan tradition of the Queen of May or May Queen (led zeppelin stair way to heaven lyrics) I remember my grandmother telling me about the Queen of the May pole (phallic symbol) in Manchester when she was a child. Girls all in white covered in flowers. Looking back it sounds creepy now.
