Russian Silver & Enamel Chick Egg

191P/PR
511 Admirers Rare Find
Written by Olly Gerrish

A sweet iridescent enamel egg pendant of a little chick. In Russia in compliance with ancient Orthodox traditions Russians mark the celebration of Easter with presenting eggs to each other. These eggs have always been one of the main symbols of Easter. There are two types of Easter eggs mostly used in Russia: “pisanki” richly ornamented eggs of two, three or four colours, and “krashenki” Easter eggs of one colour, without any ornament. This little egg was made circa 1900-1910.
