Philippine Painted Ostrich Egg Art | Hand-Painted Orchid Study

🥚 Hand-Painted Ostrich Egg — Philippine Orchid Study

PAG-ASA Farms Cooperative | Davao, Philippines

This striking Philippine painted ostrich egg art piece was created and produced on a farm in Davao, Philippines, and decorated by a local artist affiliated with PAG-ASA Farms, a regional agricultural cooperative dedicated to supporting local growers and artisans.

The egg features a vibrant botanical study of native Philippine orchids, rendered in rich yellow and soft pink tones against a clear sky-blue ground. Each flower is painted with remarkable attention to proportion, color accuracy, and natural form — capturing the elegance of orchids that are still commercially grown in the region today. The composition wraps organically around the egg’s curved surface, creating a dynamic, sculptural presentation from every angle.

The folk artist’s signature indicates its origin with PAG-ASA Farms, connecting the piece directly to a cooperative model that blends agriculture, craftsmanship, and local economic development. Objects like this were often created as limited artisan works rather than mass-produced décor, making each example subtly unique.
