The most impressive is the lower frieze, which shows the fall of Adam and Eve and their expulsion from paradise in narrative, figurative reliefs. This is where the Adam and Eve House gets its name from. The middle frieze shows the symbols of the four evangelists Matthew, John, Luke and Mark. The heads of men making faces can be seen in the upper frieze.
