Goose Egg Pysanka in Black, Red retailer and White, Wax Embossed Drop Pull Eggshell, Polish Pysanka

Goose Egg Pysanka, Wax Embossed Drop Pull Egg, Polish Folk Art Egg

This is a large goose egg pysanka ornament painted in black/red and decorated with colored wax.

To create this egg, I use the pinhead method also known as the drop-and-pull pinhead method. In this method, mostly used in Poland, the Czech Republic, Slovenia, and Lithuania, a pin stylus is used as a tool. The head of the pin is dipped into hot wax and applied to the eggshell. There are two basic techniques used in this method - wax-embossed and wax-resist.
This egg is wax-embossed, so the wax persists on the eggshell, forming a raised wax surface that you can feel when touched.

The egg has several coats of a matte finish to give a beautiful, natural look, along with strength and protection for the egg.

Its measures 3 5/8 inches from top to bottom and 2 3/8 inches from side to side.

Comes packaged in gift box with an information card.
