Orb of Tsar Boris Godunov of Russia
The orb which belongs among a set of gifts, brought to Tsar Boris Godunov in 1604 by the Great Embassy of Rudolf II, Holy Roman Emperor. The sceptre and orb, both of which miraculously survived through the Time of Troubles, are likely to have been used in 1613 in crowning of Michael Fyodorovich, first Tsar of the Romanov Dynasty
