Primitive Handmade Horsehair Drafting Brush hinged And then those great trees

And then those great trees and islands in the background

with some loss of paint which I think rather adds to their charm

I've now learned that frogs carved from Chinaberry roots are a thing

Some marks are incised on the bottom

Primitive Handmade Horsehair Drafting Brush hinged And then those great treesI've had told this wonderful old handmade brush with long, snake like handle is a drafting brush, used for sweeping eraser crumbs off of blueprints, and indeed it would be useful for that though also be good for cobweb sweeping in high places! I just love how primitive and sculptural an object is, with those great wire stitches holding the bristles in place. This one has a hole near the end, making it all the easier to hang from the wall to admire! 24
