One of my students is doing research on Psyanky, those lovely Ukranian 
eggs that are decorated using a wax resist technique.  She is having a 
notable lack of success documenting them as being period.  There is 
nothing in the Domostroi, which isn't really surprising as they are more 
Ukranian than Russian.  She has contacted the Ukranian National Museum 
and is still waiting for a response.  Any other ideas or sources for 
documentation that you guys can suggest? (Stefan, she has already 
consulted your Florilegium...and the only information there was sketchy, 
with no sources for what was being said.  She tried contacting the 
person wrote the entry and the e-mail addy didn't work.)

Thanks!

Kiri
