Renaissance (Fabergé egg)

The Renaissance Egg of 1894, the last egg Alexander III gave Maria Feodorovna, eight months before his death. Carved from white agate under a jeweled enamel trellis, with gold lion masks holding ring handles, it was modeled closely on a 17th-century box by Le Roy. Its surprise is lost. It belongs to the Link of Times Foundation and is shown at the Fabergé Museum in St. Petersburg.
