Bright turquise like a pools inside -- well at a certain point in decorative postmoderne around the time this was created metalwork in a colour of copper with patina was all the rage, but with DxDiane I suspect rather symbolistic causes to choose blue also here and not only in the third egg, perhaps a further hint on water as source of life. You know, the ancestral line of the Wuerttembergs started also from something without a spine stirring in cambium waters long ago, just like we regular humans..... anyway I think her Godess is beautifully done, as are the 3 guys and the egg shells.
The buildings, well that's Teutonic Order Baroque, them knights needed to show off what they got somewhat badly. It is very impressive and pretty of course but a triffle OTT. What I think creepy is the size of the damokles-blazon atop the gate.
