Ova Paschalia is a 1635 Latin emblem book printed in Munich by Nikolaus Henrich, with text by Georg Stengel, offering moralizing verses on Easter eggs for a learned religious readership. Its small oval copper-plate engravings show rustic scenes of village life, field labour, and egg-giving customs, with dense hatching and crisp outlines that suggest compact vignette layouts for framing text or panels.
