Title: | Christ/God Giving Symbols of Work to Adam and Eve |
---|
Notes: | This particular sarcophagus is known as the Dogmatic Sarcophagus, or the "sarcophagus of the two Testaments." This image depicts the symbols of work, tilling the land for grain, sustaining animal herds, given to Adam and Eve following their Fall. The center figure represents God, although it clearly is identical with representations of Christ on the same relief. |
