Acid-Etched Swallows

My own design. This division is often gets grouped with the saddlebags division. Here, you can imagine that a pysanka with a full rosette and border has been split in half and rotated 90 degrees.

Swallows are the only birds shown flying on pysanky and represent the arrival of good news.
