Part of The Big Egg Hunt to raise money for Action For Children the eggs travelled the country and was then auctioned. Some eggs raised over £20,000 each. The paint has been designed to be waterproof although I would not guarantee the great British weather !. A true one of a kind statement piece of art. A box could be made for the base to sit inside easily. Cecily has transported a section of Piero della Francescas The Baptism of Christ, 1448-50, a holy sacrament which symbolises re-birth, onto her egg.
