The present brooch can clearly be seen on the reproduction of Fabergé’s showcase from the Pan-Russian Industrial Art Exhibition in Moscow in 1882. It was part of Fabergé’s first important series of jewellery based on ancient Scythian and Greek treasures excavated near Kerch in the Crimea. The series was awarded a gold medal and brought international acclaim to the House of Fabergé.

Erik Kollin, a chief workmaster for Fabergé at the time, designed the series working closely with the Scythian gold kept in the Imperial collections at the Hermitage. Through careful study of the original works, Kollin and his apprentices became highly skilled in the art of the ancient goldsmiths.
