This circular brass plate has a shallow depression where the story of Adam and Eve is depicted. The center of the scene shows a vertical tree trunk with a huge serpent coiled around its trunk. The snake stretches from ground to crown. A man and woman flank the tree, the woman on the right and the man on the left. They are the same size as the tree trunk and the serpent. The snake’s head is level with the woman’s and they both turn their heads to meet the viewer’s gaze. Her wavy hair flows down her back to her knees.   Adam's hair is shoulder length and forms a wide bush around his head. His ribs are prominent. Round fruit are seen hanging from the dense crown of the tree. The woman holds a round piece of fruit with her left hand and a branch that covers her pubis with her right. The man also covers his genital area with a branch in his right hand and holds out a piece of fruit in his left. Flowers and flowering shrubs grow profusely all around them. There is a brick wall enclosing the couple in the garden. A slightly raised bronze border separates this scene from a continuous circular border of upper case letters in Roman script, likely an inscription in Latin or German. Surrounding the inscription there is a decorative circle of tiny leaves connected end to end and a plain section of bronze that gradually rises to form the lip of this shallow bowl/plate. The lip is decorated at the periphery with a single discontinuous but regularly spaced scallop pattern with a leaf design at their points.
