Gilded bronze Easter egg. Russia, late 19th – early 20th century.

Gilded bronze Easter egg is an outstanding example of Russian decorative and applied art of the late 19th – early 20th century. The item is made in the Russian academic style with neo-baroque elements, which gives it special expressiveness and splendor. Both styles are harmoniously combined, emphasizing the idealized depiction of religious subjects and the sophistication of decorative elements. Both sides of the egg are decorated with complex relief scenes on religious themes: the Descent from the Cross and the Resurrection of Christ. Masterful elaboration of the smallest details, including the facial expressions of the characters and the drapery of the garments, testifies to the high level of skill of the creator.
