Jones Egg
This handcrafted maple egg celebrates new life, birth and creation. It was carved with a pattern of circles in various sizes and depths, then painted with three shades of blue for a subtle variation in tone. Display it in its own bird nest (included) or on the small black stand, varying your decor with the seasons.

Genevieve Jones was a self-taught scientific illustrator who was known as the “other Audubon.” After seeing some of Audubon’s paintings at an exhibition, Jones decided to draw the nests and eggs of the 130 bird species nesting in Ohio at the time. But before she could finish, she died from typhoid fever at age 32. Her family spent the next seven years completing the hand-colored plates, of which 90 copies were made.
