A white Easter egg painted in the Delft blue style, in three blues and white. A Dutch windmill stands in the middle of the egg with its four sails set in an X, a pale blue tower that widens to the ground, a door at the foot and a window above it. The top of the egg is mid blue, ruled off with a dark line and a narrow pale blue band. Under the windmill come a mid blue line of ground, a pale blue band with short white dashes for the water of a canal, a dark line and a mid blue foot. Dark navy draws every line and the outline of the egg, and the left half mirrors the right exactly.
