Hand-Painted Ostrich Pysanka | Museum-Recognized Ukrainian Folk Art
A monumental, one-of-a-kind pysanka hand-painted by Olha Sakhno, a Ukrainian folk artist whose work is exhibited in national museums. Each symbol on the shell carries centuries of meaning — protection, faith, and continuity passed down through generations.
