Works with Jewish motifs – Photographs from the legacy of Bandi A. Schima
In November 2023, we published drawings made by Bandi A. Schima (1882 – 1959), a metalsmith from Győr, for the decorative objects commissioned by the Jewish Community of Győr in the 1930s. Until this time it was uncertain whether these works were ever completed.
Dr. Emese Pápai, art historian and chief museologist at the Rómer Flóris Museum of Art and History in Győr, and researcher of Bandi A. Schima, recently sent us photographs of two of the completed works of art she has now found in the artist’s bequest: a bushel (money-box) and an urn-shaped work (bushel?). They correspond, with slight variations, to the drawings indicated.
The bushel
The urn
The whereabouts of these objects are still unknown.
