Although the designs on these pysanky are based on neolithic (New Stone Age) pottery patterns, they are not traditional pysanka designs (all claims by vendors on eBay to the contrary). Still, the white, brick and black eggs are gorgeous, even if they are technically more difficult to make than traditional ones.

Pictured above are actual examples of Trypillian-style pottery from the museum in Trypillia, Ukraine.  You can see the sinuous patterning in black on a red clay background.  Some pots also have white painted design elements.
