Edwardian Red Enamel Egg Pendant

546T
Written by Olly Gerrish

A pretty egg that has been enamelled in a strawberry red colour. It was made circa 1910 and is possibly of Russian origin. The Russian Easter egg tradition dates back to pre-Christian times when people saw eggs as fertility symbols and as symbols of protection. Eggs represented renewal or new life. When Russian Orthodoxy was adopted, eggs took on Christian symbolism. This little egg can be worn on a chain with other eggs interspersed.
