Тhe motifs below are also from volume three of “Boikivshchyna: A Scientific Collection,” an anthology of research articles about the Boikos and Boikivshchyna published in the journal “Boikivshchyna.”  They are taken from an article by Mykhailo Belen article about Boiko cosmogony, their model of the origins of the universe.  They are symbols he collected from various types of Boiko folk art, and his interpretations of their meanings.

Unfortunately, these copies below are not nice, clean scans, but photos of pages in a book taken in poor lighting. I’ve cleaned them up as best I can.
