This openable Easter egg has been created in the Faberge style. It features a clock and is surmounted by a golden cockerel, a folk motive widely spread in Russia. Gilded brass, colored enamel, faux jewels.
The Faberge eggs began in 1884 with an Easter egg made by the brilliant Russian jeweller Faberge for the Russian tsar Alexander III that became a gift for his wife. Then Nicholas II, Alexander son and last Russian Emperor continued the tradition.
