DescriptionIn many folk beliefs spiders and their webs represent protection and good luck. The Pavuk ( “spider” in Ukrainian) is one of the most common motifs found in Ukrainian Folk Art on pysanky eggs and in the traditional handmade geometric Straw mobiles. Spider motifs generally have a centrifugal or complex net-like composition, resembling the outline of a spider and its web. In many folk beliefs, spiders and their webs symbolized perseverance, and patience.
