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

The only flaw on this otherwise excellent condition basket

I would not say Sue was a master carver

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

Straw Whisk Brush with Yellow Painted Wood Handle carved wooden box with scrapes and some rustAnother 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
