What the image shows

A green egg-shaped object with gold bands and a red gem on top, displayed on a gold stand.

Generated by LinkedCulture from the photograph alone, without the museum’s catalogue text (Qwen/Qwen2.5-VL-7B-Instruct), and not yet reviewed by a person. It describes the picture, not the object’s history, and it is not part of the museum’s record.

From the Cleveland Museum of Art record

Seated on an intricate miniature stand, this polished nephrite (jade) egg features a cabochon ruby on top and a hinged gold-leaf border that reveals the interior. Within the egg, on a bed of gold, is a nest of even smaller eggs. Each red, white, and green egg mirrors an aspect of the larger egg, recalling the cleverness and meticulous details found within every House of Fabergé object.
