Created in the Czech Republic by an anonymous artist, these traditional works of art are numerous throughout the region. They are made by painting or staining a hen's egg and applying the delicate straw shapes. These modern examples are stunningly beautiful as they express the full range of this exquisite Czech folk art. The acrylic paint used on these pieces is non-traditional, but gives a beautiful and richly colored background.
