Adam and Eve and the Serpent, Fabulous Mid Century Enameled Copper Plate ace of hearts Backs are blanksPure delight finding this one. I love how this very young looking Adam holds up his hand in a sort of friendly, ineffectual wave. goodbye to innocence! while our vixen esque Eve looks quite ready to run away with the serpent!
