Hutsul Horses



My own design making use of a division seen in pysanky from the Hutsul region of Ukraine. This region is famous for its folk art and intricate pysanky.
In this egg:
Horses: wealth and prosperity, endurance
Star-rose: God's love, life force
St. Andrew's Cross: recalls the patron saint of Ukraine
Rake: putting things in order, good husbandry and prosperity
Wheat: good health and harvest
Ram's horns: strength, leadership, creativity

Final color, green: spring, new life, freedom; victory of life over death
