<p>[QUOTE="moreotherstuff, post: 1639416, member: 56"]I have an egg also with the contents rattling around inside. It came from an aunt who called it her million year old egg. No decoration on that one and probably just luck that it dried. As Bronwen stated: eggshell is porous, so maybe packing it in desiccant would make the difference.</p><p><br /></p><p>That's beautifully decorated. I don't know if Pysanky eggs were originally intended to be eaten at Easter, in which case yours would be an unusual survivor. Having the contents blown is the easiest way to deal with preservation, but maybe there was some traditional drying technique.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
