pushing off I assume

Most have windows painted on three sides

but I think it is fabulous

When I found this little clay fertility doll I had no idea quite what she was or where she came from

Antique Two-toned Horsehair Brush with Turned Handle carved wooden bird pushing off I assumeAnother pretty antique brush, this one unusual for its combination of longer black horsehair bristles surrounded by tapered shorter blonde ones. The nicely shaped, reddish stained turned wooden handle features a hole near the end for easy hanging. Late 19th century or so I believe. Good overall condition, with a little bristle loss, a fair amount of wear to the wood, and a little cracking (perhaps a repair, but I'm not sure) to the wood on the handle
