This is a real Rhea egg on a clear plastic stand with a long brass hinge, cut with a beautiful curve along the short middle of the egg (side to side). Unlined and ready to decorate or display, this egg is ideal for making into a jewelry box, miniature peep scene, or decorated egg box. Some artists decorate hinged eggs with polymer clay, quilling, acrylic paint, decoupage, or findings and braid.
Each of our eggs is handmade and the edges are slightly textured. The hinge is positioned knuckle out, so the egg opens all the way. The hinge is not stiff, so the lid will not hold in the open position, but must be supported.
Rhea eggs are @ 4.75 inches long, cream colored, and with the texture of Ostrich egg. Smaller than Ostrich and Emu, larger than goose - they are really fun. The curve cut will be slightly different on each egg to match their individual personalities. The hole is on the fat end of the egg.
Please check our other listings for different cut styles, and for quantity pricing.
