Corn dolly, in the form of a girl and a small boy, made of corn husks, the girl carring a basket holding two tiny eggs painted blue and brown, the boy carrying a whip (pomlàzka) made of braided red, blue and yellow threads tied in a bow at the end. The figures are given stability by using several layers of corn husk.
