The Renaissance Egg, made in jewelled agate and presented to Maria Feodorovna in 1894. It was the last egg that Alexander III gave to his wife before his death.
Maria Feodorovna, wife of Alexander III and mother of Nicholas II, received 30 Imperial eggs in all, which the Soviet Government "repossessed". She escaped the massacre of the Russian Imperial Family in 1917, and died in exile in her native Denmark in 1928; In 2005, her remains we re-interred, according to her wish, next to those of her husband in St Petersberg.
