Ukrainian Pysanka Egg

A pysanka is a Ukrainian Easter egg, decorated using a wax-resist (batik) method. The word comes from the verb pysaty, "to write", as the designs are not painted on, but written with beeswax. The word pysanka refers specifically to an egg decorated with traditional Ukrainian folk designs, and is not a generic term for any egg decorated using wax resist. This egg is hand painted and made in Ukraine. The size of this egg is 3" in height and 2" in diameter.
