Rocznik Wolynski 1930

Volyn Annual 1930

 
 

The pysanky pictured on this page, numbers 18 to 35, are grouped by predominant motif, although all but one are from Rivne oblast, and a large number of them from Hoshcha raion.  The motifs found on them are either phytomorphic (plant motifs) or agricultural.

I have given the place of origin, in Ukrainian and English, for all the pysanky.  I have also included the names of the pysanky, when given, in italics, translated to the best of my ability.

Pysanky 18-22 are described as oak leaves, although the first three appear to be variations on berehynia motifs.  Pysanka 23 is labeled as a “flower,” but looks more like an oak leaf (compare to 12-22).

Pysanky 24-26 and 29-32 are also a variety of flower motifs.  Pysanka 27 has six ruzhi/stars, and eight “trylysts” (three leafed motifs) shown, but is called “cloves” for some reason. Cloves have 5 petals, as best as I can tell; then again, so do mallow flowers....


Pysanka 28 is called “blacksmiths,” and 33 is called “leaves”; both are sets of triangles.  Pysanky 34 and 35 are called rakes; they actually depict clouds (the triangles) with rain coming down from them (the fringe).
