A Fabergé diamond set miniature egg pendant in the form of an elephant realistically modelled in standing position with its trunk curving-up, all set throughout with rose-cut diamonds, the back decorated with a rose-gold saddle cloth with tassel finials set on the top with a cabochon-cut sapphire, all mounted in silver and rose-gold, bearing gold marks for 56 zolotniks and workmaster’s mark for Mikhail Perkhin, circa 1898-1903, measuring approximately 2.5 x 1.2cm, gross weight 6.1 grams.
