Mama’s Reindeer Pysanka
$68.00
Handmade batik pysanka with reindeer motif of my mother’s original design. White chicken eggshell, emptied and varnished.
Reindeer are a symbol for wealth and prosperity. Apple trees are for fruitfulness. Suns are a wish for good fortune. Lines encircling the egg represent long life. Waves symbolize abundance. Chicks are for fulfillment of wishes, or fertility — whichever one applies to you. Purple is for patience, trust, power and faith.
The design is made using a batik, or wax-resist, process: beeswax is melted in the flame of a candle and applied to the egg with a tool called a kistka. The egg is dipped into successively darker dyes, with beeswax applied at each stage. At the end of the process the beeswax is melted off to reveal the finished design, and the egg is varnished, emptied, rinsed and dried.
This item is made to order and may take up to 2–4 weeks for fulfillment.
Comes with metal gift tin (not pictured.)
