Description (Physical description)
A weaver's brush made of elongated, coarse, brown plant matter, possibly a seed. One end of the crescent shaped seed is sawn off to create a rough surface, likely used as the brush. Thin wispy fibres sprout intermittently across the sides of the seed. There are red pigment stains on the brush end, and a circular metal hook is attached to the opposite end.
