PODILSKY PYSANKAS' ORNAMENTAL PATTERNS


PODILSKY PYSANKAS' ORNAMENTAL PATTERNS is the subject of the research for V. Ilinsky and S. Podhurska from Khmelnytsk. The authors refer to the III Archeological Congress in Kyiv where Khvedir Vovk for the first time gave the definition of the folk pysanka as a unique type of Ukrainian art. There are very interesting notes on this topic left by K Shyrotsky, O. Voropay and Yu. Sinytsky. In particular, a prominent ethnographer Yu. Synytsky collected old things and due to his efforts the Podolsk Eparchy Committee Storage of Ancient Things museum, in charge of which he was till 1922, was created in 1890. The museum collection had 7 sections. In ethnography section there were kept 550 samples of pysankas. In the article the characteristics of Western and Eastern Podillia works and their different symbols are presented. They impress by the unity of archaic elements, similarity of pysanka's elements on Trypillia culture dishes. Pysankas of this area are an inexhaustible source of people's wisdom and talent and they have to tell a lot more those who look for and find.
