Faberge Imperial Dynasty Egg
The double-headed eagle is a common symbol in Russian heraldry which was adopted from the Byzantines by Several Eastern European nations and continue to be used as the national symbol to this day.
Carl Fabergé was a Russian jeweler of French origin, best known for the famous eggs, made in the style of genuine Easter eggs, but using precious metals and gemstones. Russian Czars commissioned him to make an Easter Egg as a gift for the Empress from 1885 through 1917. The tradition continued until the October Revolution.
Just 42 eggs out of 50 have survived.
The eggs are made of precious metals or hard stones decorated with combination of enamel and gem stones.
The term "Fabergé egg" has become a synonym of luxury and the eggs are regarded as masterpieces of the jeweler's art. The Fabergé Imperial Easter Eggs are regarded as the last great series of commissions for objects d'art.
