| Description |
This mosaic panel representing the Fall of Adam and Eve once formed part of a much larger mosaic decorating the floor of an early Byzantine church in northern Syria. Here, Adam and Eve are portrayed sharing the forbidden fruit while covering themselves with large leaves. At the top of the panel, a Greek inscription reads, "And they ate and they realized they were naked" (Gen. 3:7), highlighting the two moments in the biblical narrative of the Fall that are depicted here. |
