Transcription: [double-headed eagle] EASTER EGG CHARM Unusual Easter Egg pendant of gold, set with sapphires and diamonds in a connecting design resembling three medallions suspended from triangular ribbon pieces. It is surmounted by two loops, one of which is hallmarked (indistinctly). Designed by Carl Faberge, illustrious Russian court jeweler, the little charm is characteristic of those which he made expressly for the young Grand Duchesses, daughters of Tsar Nikolai II.
