Walnut, veneered. Struts of antlers and human skulls. The central column created of fallow deer antlers. Table top in walnut veneer and pony fur. This table is in close connection with the interior decoration of the famous Sedlec Ossuary near Prague.

Rint‘s lavish interior decorations were made exclusively from the bones of around 10,000 humans.
