One of the oldest eggs in my collection, I found in at a gift shop in Sacramento, and it took a while to realize it was made of paper. Long time before fimo or other clays. You can actually see the small strips of paper it was made of inside under the many layers of enamel paint. It quite pretty art work, but I wanted to show the form that makes it stand. I think it's quite unique
