This article contains a short video with close ups of the egg. I hope you can view it. The piece is jaw dropping.

Saw it yesterday afternoon, it's very delicate and not very big.A beautiful piece. Well displayed by Christies in it's own very small room. The photograohs I took didn't come out very well as the lighting wasn't helpful to my phone. The other Faberge items up for auction were also well worth seeing up close.
