The front of the upper half of the egg is enameled with two angels kneeling in adoration before the empty coffin of Christ. The scene symbolizes Christ's resurrection from the dead.

The sun rays are done with twisted wires on a golden yellow & orange guilloche enamel ground.

The color palette and floral designs of this egg are typical for objects by the master from the period of 1899-1908. Any eggs by Ruckert are very rare. The use of translucent guilloche enamel in combination with cloisonne enamel is extremely rare and found only on a very few Ruckert's eggs.

There are 3 noticeable chips to enamel on the upper half of the egg.
a flat chip to the yellowish-white enamel of the star
a chipped area in the lower part of the red robe
a tiny chip to translucent pink enamel in the lower right corner of the sun
All those chips could be easily fixed if necessary.
