Context:
This group of mosaics may be from a church at Maaut El Naaman in northern Syria. The panel depicting Adam and Eve includes a Greek inscription that translates as: And they ate, [and they] were made naked, taken from the book of Genesis (III: 7-8). It is possible that the mosaic belongedto a pavement illustrating the Garden of Eden.The Grape Harvester with a Peacock also conveys well-known Christian themes. The grapes represent the Eucharistic wine and thus the blood of Christ, while the peacock was a symbol of immortality.
