I suspect, but can't be sure, that the ostrich egg in the Jereb book
on the Arts of Morocco is a henna job ..... if you do it, try setting
the color with heat and ammonia.
In Sudan, decorated ostrich eggs were kept in the rafters of
women's little houses (hosh) as things to promote fertility, and
to mirror the fecund woman's womb .... maybe chicken eggs would make
us only a little fertile as opposed to ostrich eggs making us a LOT
fertile...
