For decorating eggs, use ornaments with zoomorphic motifs (fish, rooster), vegetal (grape, wheat ear, oak leaf, tree, leaf acacia), cosmomorphic (clouds, sun, stars, lightning) sceomorfe (plug, rake, harrow, scale) and geometric (horizontal, vertical, wavy, spiral etc.) and vegetable color obtained from apple peel (yellow), red onion peel (red) and walnut shell (black).
