Bukovyna

Буковина

 
 

The area known as Bukovyna is a culturally heterogeneous region, with inhabitants of Ukrainian, Romanian, Russian and Roma ancestry. It is currently divided between Ukraine and Romania, with the northern part forming the current Ukrainian oblast of Chernivtsi.

I have included (or plan to do so) information about the territory and ethnography of Bukovyna, as well as modern Chernivtsi oblast, along with lots of pysanky.  Many of the pysanky in this section are from the collection of Ivan Balan. Others are from museum collections, or recreated from books.

(Note: the numeration of the eggs from the Balan collection, i.e. the  “Балан - №,” simply reflects the order in which they were photographed and their data recorded.  It is just my bookkeeping system.)

Here’s an outline:
