Description
The brass door at the entrance to Bok Tower depicts the Book of Genesis. The tower itself is marble. The door is in the Gothic style.
In the words of the artist and creator Samuel Yellin the door is "as near to color of gold as possible and depicts six days of creation in the Garden of Eden. The various panels in the door show Adam and Eve, the vegetation, animals and birds, etc. The reason for making the door in this golden material is that not only will it make a beautiful golden spot, but it is the most suitable for depicting the theme used, as the climes of the six days of creation should be presented in a golden blaze of color.”
The top panels depict creation of Light, while the bottom depicts the story of Adam and Eve and ends with them being cast from the Garden of Eden.
