The most widespread technique for painting Easter eggs was to “write” the raw egg with wax. The surface of the egg was divided into halves or quarters. The names of motifs on “written” eggs: “8 or 24 hearts”, “rope drum”, “leaf” and “rake”. The “rope drum” pattern is known in the Transdanubian region. Some say it symbolizes the ropes Christ was bound with. A common motif is a pattern similar to a rake head. The name of the ornament refers to the agricultural device it resembles. In Bucsu, the Croatian word for rake (“grábla”) is of Croatian origin. The godparents gave their godchildren 2-5 painted eggs at Easter.
