The Egg opens to reveal three sailing ships, the Nina, Pinta, and Santa Maria, passing an island on their way to the New World. The ships, which sail on a sea of vermeil, are made of sterling silver and enamel. The Egg is a symbol of a past New World and the hope and promises of a New World yet to be discovered.
