The Moscow Kremlin Egg, one of the most treasured crafts made by Peter Carl Faberge, a Russian jeweler who became known wide world during his time for his famous eggs made of precious metals and stones.
and the Ukrainian Easter eggs, or pysanky.
From Wikipedia:The egg is widely used as a symbol of the start of new life, just as new life emerges from an egg when the chick hatches out. The egg is seen as symbolic of the grave and life renewed or resurrected by breaking out of it. The red supposedly symbolizes the blood of Christ redeeming the world and human redemption through the blood shed in the sacrifice of the crucifixion. The egg itself is a symbol of resurrection: while being dormant it contains a new life sealed within it.
