Outline
Traditional Pysanky of Western Ukraine
Below links to my pages about the ethnographic regions of western Ukraine, their traditions, geography, history and pysanky. This is a work in progress, and only a few sections are complete. Underlined words below indicate active links but not necessarily pages with content.
Although it is not an ethnographic region per se, but a political entity, I have used the term “Lvivshchyna” for the regions of Opillia and Roztochia, which were often referred to by ethnographers (including Binyashevsky) as “Central Halychyna.” Many pysanky were given this designation only as the place of origin.
