With lace-like etchings and carvings made with a hand drill, the decorative egg art of Hungarian artist Tunde Csuhaj is bringing a different spin on an ancient handicraft popular at Easter.

As in neighbouring countries like Ukraine and Romania, Hungary boasts a long tradition of egg painting as part of Easter celebrations.
