This exquisitely crafted egg is less than two inches long and could have been used as a container for candies. The shell of the egg is silver gilt and enamelled in translucent white. Swags of green gold laurel leaves criss-crossed in red gold divide the egg into separate rounded panels. Rubies are set into the swags and into the lower panels.

We don't have any more data about this egg.
