The pysanky below are from Erast Binyashevsky’s «Українські писанки» (“Ukrainian Pysanky”) which was published in 1968 in Ukraine. There were only four pysanky depicted, all with black backgrounds.  As always, the names Binyashevsky give to pysanky are often his descriptions, rather than folk names.

The two pysanky in the bottom row can also be found in Elyjiw’s Plast stamps; it is not known whether the two used a common source, or whether Binayshevsky had seen the Plast stamps (there isn’t very much overlap).
