Flower Motifs

“Sokal Florals”

 
 

Traditional pysanky abound with flowers, which are a symbol of beauty and of fertility and abundance.

The last group of floral motifs is the Sokal florals.  In the late 19th century two trends pushed changes in the pysanky of Sokal: a trend towards naturalism, along with the popularity of china painting. These two trends resulted in a specific floral style, sometimes isomorphic, and other times quite fantastical.
