Scene Description: Source caption: "Westansicht der Ruprechtskirche im 1. Wiener Gemeindebezirk Innere Stadt. Die Kirche ist dem Schutzpatron der Salzschiffer heiliger Rupert geweiht und ist die älteste noch bestehende Kirche der Stadt Wien. Das Langhaus und die unteren Geschoße des Turmes stammen weitgehendst aus dem 11/12. Jahrhundert. Sie befindet sich auf dem Gebiet des ehemaligen römischen Militärlagers Vindobona. Nach der Zerstörung der römischen Siedlung entstand die Keimzelle des späteren Wien im Bereich um die Ruprechtskirche. Sie war die Pfarre von Wien, bevor diese Funktion im Jahr 1147 an den Stephansdom überging."

Click to view
The present font in this church is interesting in several respects; the basin is [sort of] octagonal, the sides alternating between shield-shaped and rounded links between them; the shield-shaped sides are now blank, but may have been painted originally; some [all?] the link side have a running inscription on them, which includes the letters MD, supposedly for the date 1500; the basin has a metal [bronze?] insert, much in the manner of such inserts but the back is raised and bears an inscription [16+1Z = 1612?]; the pedestal base is square with stops down the sides. There is neither neither plinth nor cover present.
