In 1870 he was commissioned by Prince von Schwarzenberg to organize the human bones that were kept in the Sedletz ossuary . The ossuary is located in the basement of the All Saints Church in Sedletz (Czech: Sedlec), a district of Kuttenberg , (Czech: Kutná Hora ) in Bohemia. Rint used the bones, among other things, to create very macabre sculptures including four chandeliers and a coat of arms of the Schwarzenberg family, which can still be seen in the ossuary today.
Another example is a large table covered with a pony skin, each of which shows a skull in the four legs made of fallow deer horns. This piece was offered in 2010 at the Cologne Fine Arts & Antiques trade fair .
