Berry, Spiral & Rushnyk Pysanka — a real Ukrainian goose egg, hand-painted in the traditional wax-batik technique. A band of red berry-like blossoms with green leaves wraps around the crown between rows of small white dots, a narrow "rushnyk" (woven-towel) stripe in red and gold hangs down from the very top of the egg, and a central medallion holds an intricate spiral-scroll design, all set within a dense red-and-gold diamond-lattice ground.
The spiral, or scroll, is one of the oldest motifs in pysanka art, traditionally linked to life force and continuity, while the rushnyk stripe takes its name and pattern from the traditional woven ceremonial towel.
As each egg is painted entirely by hand, the exact placement of every spiral and petal may vary slightly from the photos — this is part of what makes every pysanka one of a kind.
