horsehair brush

Mane-fiber cleaning tool

A horsehair brush is a brush with bristles made from horse hair, typically from the mane or tail.

Horsehair bristles are softer than synthetic alternatives, making these brushes suitable for delicate tasks: polishing leather shoes, dusting furniture, or applying finishes without scratching.
