Imperial Red Cross Easter Egg
Imperial Red Cross Easter Egg, Fabergé egg in Cleveland Museum of Art, United States
The Imperial Red Cross Easter Egg exhibits horizontal bands edged in gold, each displaying distinct guilloche patterns covered in white enamel with red crosses marking 1914 and 1915.
Nicholas II of Russia commissioned this egg from Henrik Wigström in 1915 as a gift for his mother, Dowager Empress Maria Feodorovna, to honor her service in the Red Cross.
The egg contains five oval miniature portraits of Romanov women wearing Red Cross uniforms, reflecting the Russian imperial family's dedication to medical service during World War I.
The Cleveland Museum of Art displays this Fabergé masterwork measuring 8.6 centimeters in height and 6.35 centimeters in width, crafted from silver, gold, and enamel.
The interior reveals a folding screen with portraits set in mother-of-pearl frames, each bearing golden monograms of the depicted individuals on their reverse sides.
