Egg of the Covenant
Hover to zoom into creation.
The Egg of the Covenant, created by Theo Fabergé, was inspired by his belief that mankind has a responsibility to ensure survival in the modern age. The 24% lead crystal Egg is enhanced with sterling silver and 18-karat gold, surmounted by a small egg enriched with 31 rubies, representing the burning bush.
The Egg stands on a plinth surrounded by four decorative Egyptian obelisks.
Upon opening the Egg, the surprise is the tablet of the Ten Commandments as spoken to Moses on Mount Sinai, inscribed in Hebrew, with English on the certificate to remind us of our obligations.
