This beautiful wooden egg was hand-painted and made in the Ukraine. The scene is a church in a town near the Black Sea. I was told the name but forgot it. The name of the town is S. Kukarael. It is signed by the artist and looks like JFB (F could be a T). The picture is on the front only and has an ovate gold scrolly frame separating it from the solid black back.
It sits on its own little pedestal. The egg is 4 inches high and the pedestal adds another 2 inches. Perfect condition. I have no idea how old it is. The woman I bought it from said her Ukrainian ex-daughter-in-law gave it to her during friendlier times.
