The 1913 Romanov Tercentenary Egg by Peter Carl Fabergé (1846-1920). The egg was given by [Tsar Nicholas II](https://www.worldhistory.org/Tsar_Nicholas_II/) (r. 1894-1917) to his wife Alexandra Feodorovna. It commemorated the 300th anniversary of the Romanov ruling dynasty. The egg is made of [gold](https://www.worldhistory.org/gold/) with opalescent white enamel chased with designs of double-headed eagles and crowns. The exterior is covered with 18 miniature portraits of Romanov rulers by Zuiev. Inside the egg is a globe of two halves made of gilt and blue steel which shows the extent of the Russian [empire](https://www.worldhistory.org/empire/) in 1613. It measures 18.6 cm (7.3 in) in height.
