Sculpted wooden beam featuring a couple, at the Maison d'Adam, or Maison d'Adam et Eve, or Maison de l'Arbre-de-Vie, a half-timbered house built c. 1491 in Angers, Maine-et-Loire, France. It was originally built as an apothecary shop with living quarters above, by its owner Jean Lefevre. Its facade features many sculpted beams, including one of the Tree of Life, although the sculptures of Adam, Eve and the serpent were destroyed during the French Revolution.
