Description

 "Pysanka" Egg - Handcrafted Holiday Egg (Eastern European Tradition) from the Hohman Collection

 

This egg emerges from the Hohman Collection of hand-crafted "Pysanka Eggs".


VERY OLD



A pysanka egg is a Ukrainian (Eastern European) egg, decorated with traditional Ukrainian folk designs using a wax-resist method.


Pysanka is often taken to mean any type of decorated egg, but it specifically refers to an egg created by the written-wax batik method and utilizing traditional folk motifs and designs. Several other types of decorated eggs are seen in Eastern European traditions, and these vary throughout the region.  According to many scholars, the art of wax-resist (batik) egg decoration in Slavic cultures probably dates back to the pre-Christian era. 


It can take more than 4 hours to complete one pysanka egg!!


Possible meaning of this particular design:

Flowers are a common pysanka motif. They can be divided into two types: specific botanical types, and non-specific.


Non-specific flowers are much more common, and consist of the ruzha and others. The ruzha (or rozha) is named after the mallow flower, although it does not resemble one, and is another name given to the eight-pointed star motif. A ruzha can be full, empty, compound, divided or even crooked. It is a sun sign. 



All items come from a non-smoking environment.


These eggs are extremely fragile and are completely intact.  There is a blow hole in either end of the egg, to remove the yolk and "white", in accordance with tradition. 


All eggs will be double boxed and packed in consideration of their fragility.
