Kucheri ("curls") often appear on folk pysanka in the form of an "S" shape. According to Vira Manko in
The Ukrainian Folk Pysanka, kucheri are an extension of symbols referring to the goddess Berehynia. The pysanka pictured here is a highly stylized example of kucheri based on a diasporan pysanka featured in
Zenon Elyjiw's Sixty Score of Easter Eggs (Table 35, No. 3). I have changed the color scheme and some of the details.
