Celebrating the birth of Christ on December 25th, this Russian egg depicts the Holy Family, angels, and the Magi on the front, while the back features an angel against a golden background. This icon egg is meticulously hand-painted by skilled Russian artists trained in the miniature painting tradition, stemming from the era of the Imperial Russia. The egg is characterised by vibrant colours with gold details on the halos of the Holy Family and angels. Intricate sparkling accents on clothing, clouds, and angel wings bring luminosity to the scene. As the egg on the pedestal symbolises a fragile yet essential balance, gifting such an item to a loved one is a meaningful gesture. The egg stands 20.9 inches tall on its base, with the egg alone measuring 11.4 inches in height and 7.9 inches in diameter.
