Decorating Eggs (Margučiai)

The country of Lithuania uses two methods of decorating eggs also known as "Margučiai".

The first, an engraved method, uses a blade to scratch or carve designs on a dyed egg. The second consists of the use of hot wax applied with the head of a pin. Patterns form by using a series of dots and "tailed" dots to form rosettes and other patterns.

*Available eggs have been subdivided into color categories.  Museum staff will pick the exact egg at shipping based on your color preference.
