Provenance
The Snowman Collection
Fabergé s lapidaries took especial care in choosing stones for their animal carvings. Taking advantage of Russia’s immense mineral wealth and choosing only stones found in Russia, they picked materials that mimicked the natural markings and colourings of the animals . The choice of this agate with shades of pink perfectly reflects a pig’s colouring.
