Transcription: [double-headed eagle] Article No. RH-5389/2 Handsome parasol handle of Siberian nephrite known as spinach jade, banded in red gold, encircled in diamonds. The central portion has a connecting bow motif developed in diamonds and two cabochon rubies of fine color. It was created by Carl Fabergé, renowned jeweler to the Russian Imperial Family. Smoothly modeled and gracious in its simplicity, it is characteristic of the decoratively useful objects made by him for the late Tsarina Aleksandra Feodorovna and her daughters, the young Grand Duchesses. Mrs. John L. Pratt February 17, 1939 FROM THE HAMMER COLLECTION – 682 FIFTH AVENUE – NEW YORK
