DescriptionThis whisk brush is composed of rushes, grasses, and cotton tied with a segment of cloth. The piece of cloth is tied about one-third up from the base, and encompasses an off-white color with a light blue and red design throughout. Thin, wavy lines are also visible on the cloth's surface. Due to its lightweight construction, this whisk brush likely served as a useful tool for sweeping and cleaning off tabletop surfaces in the home or other similar spaces.
