Two salt-cellars, one with Cain and Abel, and one with the Sacrifice of Isaac

These two silver sculptures are actually salt-cellars. Each depicts an Old Testament scene with a figure threatening another. One presents Cain killing his brother out of envy, and the other Abraham obeying God’s command to sacrifice his son Isaac.
