Transcription: [double-headed eagle] Article No. 5448 Unusual, small parasol handle designed by Carl Fabergé, executed in his finest manner. The ball top is fashioned in jade, the handle stick of gold is overlaid with blush-pink transparent enamel on a ground tooled in swag effect. Two delicate fillets of gold, set with finely matched pearls, frame this portion. It is contained in the original box of hollywood, stamped with the master's insignia beneath the double-headed eagle of royal appointment. Of great charm and simplicity, the little object was made for one of the daughters of the late Tsar Nikolai II. It is from the children's apartments in the Aleksandr Palace, Tsarskoye Selo.
