Original Egg History: The Order of St. George Egg, also called the Cross of St. George Egg, is an enameled Easter egg made under the supervision of the Russian jeweler Peter Carl Faberge in 1916, for Nicholas II of Russia, who presented the egg to his mother, the Dowager Empress Maria Feodorovna. This was the last egg that the Dowager Empress received, as the Karelian Birch egg that was intended for her never reached her.
