The head will stand upright if leaned against something

This one is marked "Extra Fine Pure Bristles Sterilized" but with nothing else

1910s British

but otherwise she's in very good shape and very sturdy

and wonderfully painted-- I think those red nostrils and gnarly teeth are the best of all

Tiger Irises Watercolor/Gouache Painting on Board, c 1910s-20s advertising sewing kit The head will stand uprightThis old painting I believe does full and complete justice to the Tiger Iris (Tigridia lilacea, native to Central America) quite a stunner. And I think it's become all the better with age, with the cream of the board showing stains here and there, adding to its aura of sorts. To my eye, quite a satisfying thing, which I think I'd just prop somewhere as is, perhaps to keep company with some potted orchids and tropical plants! 12 1 4" x 8". Good overall
