 The Serpent Clock Egg costed 2,160 rubles to the Czar. The serpent winds around the pedestal of the egg and serves as tha clock's hand. The time can be read on the upper eggshell, which hs a rotating clock face.
 It is very similar to the "Duchess of Marlborough egg" (see). We don't have more documentation for the moment. If you have news or a better picture about this Egg, please e-mail us. Thank you!
