EGGS WITH SURPRISES: The Lilies of the Valley Egg is one of only two Faberge eggs created in the 'Art Nouveau' style. This egg was made of enameled gold, diamonds, pearls, rubies and crystal. The surprise consisted of three oval miniatures of the Czar, in military uniform, and his first two children, the grand Duchesses Olga and Tatiana.
An Imperial crown of rose diamonds and rubies surmounts the egg.
