PAIR OF PYROGENES
Germany
Circa 1880
Bronze, silver, gold
H: 14; D: 6.3 cm
(Missing)

A pair of silver-plated bronze pyrogenes, with gilded accessories and bases.
One depicts a monk—who may represent Saint Anthony the Great or Saint Benedict of Mursia—whose face is covered by his hood; he holds a Bible in his left hand, a rosary hanging from the cord around his waist, his body leaning backward to store matches; the base is grid-patterned for striking matches.
The other is a nun, wearing the cornette of the Daughters of Charity—a white fabric headdress worn by the Sisters of Saint Vincent de Paul until the early 1960s; holding a Bible, with a rosary hanging from a cord around her waist, her body leaning backward to store matches; the base is grid-patterned for striking the matches.
