Description
A modern reproduction of a small utility brush made of soaproot made by local Indian artist. . Quoted from PWT tag written by maker. " Made of fibers that surround the bulb of the soaproot plant, cleaned and bound together to retain their natural curvature. Many layers of paste, made of the cooked bulb itself, form the handle. A brush of many uses, such as combing the hair, sweeping up acorn flour and the like, it finds good use as a whisk broom."
