We give the explicit equations for a P^3 x P^3 embedding of the Jacobian of a curve of genus 2, which gives a natural analog for abelian surfaces of the Edwards curve model of elliptic curves. This gives a much more succinct description of the Jacobian variety than the standard version in P^15. We also give a condition under which, as for the Edwards curve, the abelian surfaces have a universal group law, with no exceptions.
