| Reverse description | A richly detailed high-relief depiction of the expulsion of Adam and Eve from the Garden of Eden. In the upper left, a radiant angel with outstretched arms descends amid dramatic diagonal rays of light emanating from the gates of Paradise. Adam and Eve are shown in the foreground walking away, their figures rendered with classical sculptural finesse, draped in flowing cloth, heads bowed. The rocky, barren landscape surrounding them is populated with gnarled leafless trees and craggy boulders, conveying desolation and exile. The legend ADAM & EVE is inscribed in Latin script along the upper right periphery. |
