Several brushes used for decorating Quichua pottery. The brushes are made from human hair (from the potters themselves) as needed. The number of hairs and length are determined by the type of line desired. More hairs make a broader line, and longer hairs make a longer line. These brushes have been made using toothpicks and dental floss, but traditionally are made using a wood splint and tied with palm fiber.
