DescriptionUnclothed Adam on the left of a large black cross and Eve on the right are both kneeling. The cross is decorated with grapes & vines, bones, and wheat shafts, with a skeleton head and arm at the base. A devil-headed snake encircles the cross. Two black and red swags are at the top and similar red and black scallops run part way down each side. The border is black with yellow and many red horse shoe marks scattered randomly throughout.
