This beautiful Pysanka was made in the traditional batik wax and dye process on a real blown turkey egg, which is sealed with a coat of archival, industrial grade UV resistant, crystal clear finish. It measures approximately 3 inches tall.

The process begins by etching the shell to remove all the spots that naturally occur on a turkey egg. The design is meticulously drawn out in pencil before it goes through a process of waxing and dyeing. Etching technique is used to create the raised borders and create a three dimensional effect.

This design is entitled "Paradise", inspired by a rug from the Laver Kerman area of Iran. It features four medallions created by a multitude of colorful flowers arranged in a star-burst pattern set against the black background.

"Paradise" is the 7th egg to be released in the Persian Rug series and the 19th original design that I have released to the public this year.

As with all my eggs, yours will come with a FREE lacquered, dark wooden stand and digital COA (Certificate of Authenticity) that allows you to register your piece in an online art database.
