Scevomorphic symbols,  the second-largest group of designs, are representations of man-made objects.

Agricultural symbols are very common, as Ukraine was a highly agricultural society, and drew many of its positive images from field and farm. Common symbols include the ladder, symbolizing man's search for happiness or prayers going up to heaven

                                                              

a sieve, symbolizing the separation of good and evil,

and the basket, symbolizing motherhood and knowledge.

Rakes (successful harvest) were commonly depicted.

So were combs (putting things in order),

windows (window into the heavenly world, female fertility),

windmills ( a cross symbol)

and the saw (fire, life-giving heat).
