What do you think this person is doing? If you guessed pooping...



What do you think this person is doing? If you guessed pooping – congrats, you guessed wrong! This piece is titled “Sorrowing Adam.” He is sitting on something (it is not explained), grieving, after getting kicked out of paradise by God. The panel once decorated the side of a Byzantine casket or box.
