Medal 16th century

This 16th-century silver medal by Hans Reinhart the Elder depicts the biblical story of Adam and Eve. The scene takes place in the Garden of Eden, with the Tree of Knowledge at the center. Adam and Eve stand on either side, with Adam offering Eve an apple, while a serpent winds around the tree. The medal is a fine example of Renaissance-era medallic art, with its detailed and realistic imagery. The inscription on the edge of the medal refers to the story of Adam and Eve, which further demonstrates the strong religious connotations present in the work.
