Geometric Poppy Pysanka — a real Ukrainian goose egg, hand-painted in the traditional wax-batik technique. Two large red poppy blossoms with green leaves sit at the top of the egg, while the rest of the surface is covered in an intricate diamond-grid geometric pattern in red, gold, and white.
Geometric diamond patterns are one of the most traditional elements of Ukrainian pysanka art, while the poppy is a long-standing folk symbol of remembrance and family memory — together making this design both visually rich and meaningful.
As each egg is painted entirely by hand, the exact placement of every line and petal may vary slightly from the photos — this is part of what makes every pysanka one of a kind.
