VOLUPTE社のペルシアンスタイルコンパクトの１つ。旧約聖書・創世記の「エデンの園」をモチーフにしています。中央にアダムとイブ、そし知恵の樹。周りには大小の動物が生き生きと彫られています。イブが知恵の樹の実を食べてから、女性の美への意識が目覚め、化粧が誕生し、このコンパクトの文化へと繋がっている不思議さを感じる作品です。

One of many Persian-style compacts from Volupte Inc. This one takes the Garden of Eden from the Old Testament's Book of Genesis as a motif, with Adam and Eve and the Tree of Knowledge in the center surrounded by a wonderful array of large and small animals. This compact serves as an exquisite reminder that appreciation of the beauty of women started with Eve taking a bite of the forbidden fruit of the Tree, an event that led in time to the birth of cosmetics and compacts like this.
