The Double Headed Eagle, the symbol and crest of the Romanov Dynasty, has two heads - one faces East and the other West.
The Russian dynasty adopted this symbol at the fall of the Byzantine Empire in Constantinople as it viewed itself as the successor of the Byzantine Empire.
Eggs in Imperial Russia was a traditional

Hand etched royal symbols, floral and geometric designs on crystal
