The Caucasus Egg is a jewelled enameled Easter egg made by Michael Perkhin under the supervision of the Russian jeweller Peter Carl Fabergé in 1893.
The Fabergé egg was made for Alexander III of Russia, who presented it to his wife, Empress Maria Feodorovna.
The egg is made of yellow and varicoloured gold, silver, ruby enamel, rose-cut diamonds, portrait diamonds, platinum, ivory, pearls, rock crystal and watercolour on ivory.
It commemorates Abastumani in Caucasus (Georgia) where Grand Duke George spent most of his life after being diagnosed with tuberculosis.
Behind the hinged cover at the top is a portrait of the Grand Duke in his naval uniform.
