BRUSH 1007987
Description: A wooden brush, 185mm in length and 41mm wide, hand-carved from a single piece of wood. The brush has an integral handle with rounded cross section and a head which has a plano-convex cross section and rounded end. There are 21 circular openings which are drilled across the head to take bunches of bristles. These are now mostly lost although some fragments remain in situ. There are six larger holes in two rows staggered along the central part of the brush with 15 smaller holes around the outside, which because of the curve of the head, extended the bristles around the sides as well as the underside of the head ot he brush. A locally made item, probably of early 19th century date.
