Pysanka Exhibit
Western Ukraine/Західна Україна
From the guide: Lviv, Sokal, Nadsiannia This case contains more western eggs, from the Lviv and Sokal regions, as well as Nadsiannia (Peremyshl region), which is now a part of Poland. The eggs are simple and geometric. With rare exceptions, a color scheme of red, yellow and black predominates. The design motifs are largely agricultural: can you spot the windmills, rain clouds, and rakes? There are also quite a few ruzha (eight-pointed stars) motifs.
Can you find pysanky with a ruzha symbol? What does it signify?
The pysanky in this case were written by Arnie Klein and me, Luba Petrusha.
