In the 3rd book of the Hebrew Bible, the Old Testament of Christians, almost everything revolves around sacrifice - including animals such as sheep. Later cf. Easter lamb. The theological and emotional significance of Old Testament sacrifices are often depicted in art, particularly on Gothic winged altars or Romanesque stone Bibles. See also Atonement in Leviticus. With her sculpture "Sacrificial Animal", Nina Koch takes up a very old human theme.
