Nice image! Your post reminded me of the Forbes Galleries, formerly located here in NYC (5th Avenue and
12th Street) on the ground floor. Malcolm S. Forbes, the former publisher and editor of Forbes magazine had among the museum's notable exhibits over time included "Olympic Gold", a collection of medals and other collectibles from some of the world's most accomplished Olympians, a number of Fabergé eggs, an armada of 500 ships and 12,000 toy soldiers and one of the original Monopoly boards. All on exhibit to the public gratis!

The collection included nine Imperial eggs, three Kelch eggs and more than 180 other Faberge pieces, such as jewelry and desk accessories. The nine Imperial eggs were purchased by Victor Vekselberg, a Russian industrialist, for an estimated $100 million, and what he called ''perhaps the most significant example of our cultural heritage outside Russia,'' and returned them to Russia.

I loved going to the Forbes Galleries; Mr. Forbes died in 1990 and his family sold his collections as well as the building and the galleries closed in 2014.

Be well! Ed

Yup. Been to The Met (a number of times, but that was decades ago) and have seen this (or maybe it was one of their other Faber-eggy eggs?). But what I most distinctly recall is, having seen it, I was possessed by an overwhelming hankering for hash browns & bacon.

Which is no reflection whatsoever on your portrayal of the Egg, unkabuck. Because it's a right nice image.

Fast-forward to today.... ....require hash browns & bacon! Right now! With some fresh squeezed OJ on the side! Overwhelmingly!

p.s.: you do good images.
