| Description, including signature and date |
| This bottle was made in 1994 by Erich Bischof of Austria. He copies the styles of old bottles. This one has a paper cutout of Christ on the cross, surrounded by the usual tools, but the tools are carved in great detail and painted. A mace with spikes hangs from the left side of the cross, and a silver glove/hand hangs from the right. The lantern in front is a carved cage whimsey in itself. It is signed EB 94 in gold on the stem of the stopper (see picture below, right).
