gold match

"Cookson sees [the gold match] anthropomorphically, as a portrait of an alchemist burnt out in the persuit of gold. The gold match, denied its function as a match, brought to life already in a state of death, is a memorial to that human persuit and endeavour, where science could lead to riches, but came with a potentially high price. Cookson's minute monument burns only in the mind and therefore forever." - Chris Newlove Horton, Ex as Cross as X as TIMES, 2010
