straw broom

Rustic cleaning tool

A straw broom is a broom with bristles made from straw or similar plant fibers, typically bound to a wooden handle.

The classic witch's broom of Halloween imagery is a straw broom.

They're traditional household tools, though largely replaced by synthetic bristles: She swept the porch with an old straw broom.
