my faberge egg

Thanks to Alex who helped me get this egg whilst he was in Russia! My very own Faberge egg with a miniature model of St Basil's Cathedral within it. Faberge eggs are synonymous with Russia where the Tsar commissioned the House of Faberge to make an egg as a gift for his wife. I believe that those were much larger than the one I possess now. This egg fits in very nicely to my collection of miniature wonders of the world, and soon, I'll need to find a bigger shelf for them all.
