#Faberge Egg

The “Bay Tree” egg. It was presented to the Dowager Empress Maria Feodorovna by her son, Emperor Nicholas II, on Easter 1911.⠀

The motif of the evergreen laurel, symbolizing immortality and glory, was not chosen by chance - that year marked 30 years since Maria Feodorovna’s accession to the Russian throne.⠀

The crown of the laurel tree is egg-shaped and consists of 325 leaves carved from Sayan jade - a stone that, due to its remarkable plastic properties, was especially loved by Carl Faberge and was used to create many of his company's masterpieces. A golden songbird is placed in the jade crown of the tree, whose mechanism was made so well that it works perfectly to this day.⠀

Empress Maria Feodorovna had a weakness for birds, and Faberge, knowing this, often supplied Easter gifts intended for her with mechanical birds. Via the Faberge Museum

A Faberge Egg pendant belonging to Tatiana Nikolaevna Romanov has been discovered!

The pendant was found with other belongings in the bedroom that she shared with her sister Olga in the Alexander Palace, at Tsarskoe Selo.

It's design is very reminiscent of this painting that Tatiana did in 1913 - I wonder if the pendant was inspired by the painting, or vice versa.

The item is currently reserved!

they say “a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush” but you know what’s worth even more? that’s right: the faberge egg once presented to dowager empress maria feodorovna by her son nicholas ii. previously it was only known of through a single photograph and letter, and was thought lost to history, but I recently received a google alert about a seemingly innocuous miniature portrait of christian ix of denmark that i suspect may be a lead to

Mood board on how to present the alien font, mostly about the different cultures and practices they might use.

Going to steer away from hr geiger style and lean into the voyager gold disk and vinyl record style, if i have time i might need to make an album cover for it to really knock it out the park.

Vegeta's the kind of kitty cat who would knock a glass of water off the counter, but not a Faberge egg.

That glass could be made of actual glass, and that absolute king shit lil shit would look you right in the eyes and be like, "CRISH CRASH, BITCH."

But he would steal the egg. Because that shiny, bejeweled egg is HIS. He is ROYALTY, he deserves it.

He is also a very small cat. He has no thumbs, and a tiny mouth.

He fumbles that caper so damn bad. Just, theeeee LOUDEST little angry cat noises from the next room while he drags the whole fucking table runner and all the candelabra to the floor, falling down from wherever, crish-crash, bby boi, looking stupid as hell, takin' a L like there's no tomorrow.

And he's lying there amid the scintillating shards of the jeweled egg, having a long-ass monologue in his head about how he can't believe he's been beaten, that his skills have failed him somehow despite all his training. But when you come over to be like, "Awwwww, Be-jiji-boo-bahhh, did you go oopsie? Were you bein' a naughty bean?" He pulls it together and growls and goes to sit in the bathroom sink and stare at the shower like:

You cannot prove me wrong, I will be accepting no counter-arguments. 😂😂😂
