Osterreichische Postsparkasse.



Pediment detail. The marble panels riveted into the concrete core structure can be seen below the cornice, while Wagner, despite his attempts to be minimalist with his ornamentation, clearly couldn't resist including a pair of female angels holding laurel garlands to flank the pediment.
These were designed and sculpted by Wagner's collaborator Othmar Schimkowitz.
