Edwardian Silver Gilt Egg with Chick Inside

935H
441 Admirers
Written by Olly Gerrish

An unusual silver egg pendant with an emerging chick. It was most likely made in Russian between 1900-1910. The chick’s head is enamelled in yellow. The Russian Orthodox church takes Easter very seriously, so over the years the tradition of giving eggs has grown.
