Pysanky from Binyashevsky’s collection that he identifies as being from Podillia, which is in western central Ukraine. The pysanky below are all from western Podillia, Ternopil oblast.

The names of the pysanky are those given to them by Binyashevsky, not necessarily the “folk names” given by pysankary.  Many are simple descriptors, and he tends to use “zirky” (stars) rather than “ruzhi” (mallows), despite the latter being the more common folk designation.  This is true of other names, too.

The numbers assigned to the pysanky are based on the photo originals that I obtained, and are for my cataloging purposes only.
