Straw Whisk Brush with Yellow Painted Wood Handle carved wooden box presumed early 20th century Northwest

presumed early 20th century Northwest Coast Native

which I believe adds to its appeal as a truly remarkable object

is in very good condition overall

The brush measures 10 1/2" long and 4 1/2" wide overall

or of the ceramic sculptures of Magdalena Suarez Frimkess--both of which enhance my love for her greatly

Straw Whisk Brush with Yellow Painted Wood Handle carved wooden box presumed early 20th century NorthwestAnother super satisfying old brush, this one I think c. 1930s, with a terrific yellow painted handle strung with a loop for hanging. The handle is perfectly worn and weathered, with some paint loss, lightening, and darkening here and there, and the straw bristles tightly wrapped (I believe by hand) with wire and in great shape. Super useful still for all sorts of things including just hanging on the wall! Of a nice size with a good weight: 8 1 2" long
