1900. Cockerel or Cuckoo Clock egg is made of varicolored gold, translucent violet, green, opaque lilac and opalescent white and oyster enamel, diamonds, rubies and pearls. Surprise is made of gold and natural feathers. Only a few years before it was made nearly half a million of russian people died of famine. Talk about obscene self-indulgence.
