This reads to me rather like a salesman sample for a full-scale handmade straw broom, but I assume it was made as a small utilitarian scrub brush. The brush is fine straw, wrapped in iron wire, with an old iron nail on either side. The handle is wood, which feels hand-carved, with a rounded end and a great dry patina. A satisfying and to my eye quite beautiful small thing.

8 1/8” t x 2 5/16” diameter at widest bristles. Good and sturdy condition, with a little dryness to the wood and darkening to the brush end of the wood and top of the bristles, all to the good in my opinion.
