Trypillian-Style Pysanka | Ancient Ukrainian Chicken Egg Art by Olha Sakhno
A hand-painted pysanka by Ukrainian master artist Olha Sakhno, inspired by 5,000-year-old Trypillian culture — one of prehistoric Europe's most advanced civilizations. Swirling geometric patterns reflect life, renewal, and cosmic balance drawn from ancient Trypillian ceramics.
Details:
Artist: Olha Sakhno, exhibited at the National Museum of Ukrainian Folk Decorative Art, K.G. Stetsenko Historical Museum and Memorial Museum, and Kvitka Educational Complex
Materials: natural chicken egg, traditional dyes
