Memory of Azov, Imperial Easter egg at Kremlin Armoury, Russia.
The Memory of Azov egg features intricate designs carved from heliotrope jasper, adorned with diamonds, rubies, and gold Rococo scrolls on its surface.
Alexander III commissioned this Fabergé egg in 1891 as an Easter gift for Tsarina Maria Feodorovna, commemorating their sons' journey to the Far East.
The egg contains a miniature gold and platinum replica of the Russian Navy cruiser Pamiat Azova, set upon aquamarine to represent water.
Visitors can examine this 93-millimeter-tall masterpiece among other Imperial eggs in the Kremlin Armoury Museum's permanent collection in Moscow.
Master craftsmen Michael Perkhin and August Wilhelm Holmström incorporated platinum lifeboats and functioning anchor chains in the miniature vessel.
