Like a number of the famous Imperial Easter Eggs designed and built in the House of Fabergé, this egg was constructed by workmaster Henrik Wigström. What looks like a single, massive slab of lapis lazuli, is actually six segments carefully joined under gold double headed eagles, scrolls, flower baskets, and caryatids.
