The ‘Enlighten the People’ Egg commemorates the 250th anniversary of the Birth of Thomas Jefferson and his passionate commitment to Liberty.

The Egg is sculpted in fine bone china, hand-painted in an array of colors representing the decorative Great Dome of the magnificent... reading room in the Library of Congress.The Egg opens to reveal Jefferson, crafted in vermeil, by a lectern holding the letter mandating his own great private library to the nation. The American Eagle surmounting the lectern and the floor design are found within the library. Along with the egg you will receive the certificate of authenticity, the original golden display case, and the original boxes. Condition is Used and there is a little bit of tarnish on the centerpiece, but item has been kept in a glass case since purchase. I will have professionally packaged before shipping.
