Alexander Palace, Imperial Easter egg at Kremlin Armoury, Russia.

The Alexander Palace egg measures 11 centimeters in height and contains five miniature watercolor portraits of the Romanov children on its nephrite surface.

Henrik Wigström created this Fabergé egg in 1908 for Tsar Nicholas II, who presented it to his wife Alexandra Fedorovna during Easter celebrations.

The egg features precise details including diamond monograms, gold garlands, and birth dates engraved behind each child's portrait, representing imperial Russian craftsmanship.

The interior contains a removable miniature replica of the Alexander Palace made from tinted gold and enamel, placed on a five-legged gold table.

The egg remained in Alexandra's Mauve Sitting Room until 1916 and stands as one of few imperial Fabergé eggs never sold after the Russian Revolution.
