This intricately carved ivory model, created by the anonymous artist Meester IP around 1530, depicts the biblical story of Adam and Eve. The figures stand beneath an arched frame, adorned with elaborate ornamentation. The scene, referencing the Garden of Eden, captures the moment of temptation with the serpent entwined around the tree of knowledge. The piece showcases the meticulous detail and skilled craftsmanship typical of Renaissance ivory carving, with its delicate figures and intricate architectural elements.

An as yet unidentified South-German sculptor carved this model as the design for a goldsmith to execute in precious metals and gems. The central scene depicts the fall of man: Adam has already taken a bite from the apple that Eve had given him. The delicate framework surrounding the scene is decorated with further apples playfully arranged.
