DescriptionAn etched chicken egg dyed dark red. The large image that lies on its front side depicts flock of sheep and its tender, as well as what appears to be a dog. There are trees and buildings in the background, and an odd statue next to the dog. Another image lies on either side of this one. To the right, is a bunch of flowers with a switch across the stems. Ribbons hang from the switch and the words, "Věrnost na věrnost" are etched beneath. The other image has a flower in its center with sprigs of wheat all around. In between all of the images, and covering the remainder of the egg, are elongated dots, hearts, and crosses. A flower is etched on the top and bottom of the egg. White cording is strung through the egg, with a knot at the bottom and loops at the top. Dark blue cording is tied to the white cording in a loop.On View
