Transcription: [double-headed eagle] EASTER EGG CHARM Miniature Easter Egg designed as a pendant charm, of gold-on-silver, the surface hand-tooled. The swam motif modeled in relief, encircled within a modeled form, ornaments one side. Loops from which it is suspended are hallmarked, but the devices through years of wear have become less distinct. Designed by Carl Faberge, court jeweler to the last two Tsars of the Romanov Dynasty, it is fashioned like those which he made expressly for the young Grand Duchesses, daughters of Nikolai II. Mrs. John L. Pratt October 2, 1939
