This Korean brush would have been used for painting and/or large calligraphy. The handle is an old horn of rich brown tones and a soft matte patina from use. The bristles are long and soft and show some ink residue close to the ferrule. It is a wonderful brush to hold

The tray has a delicately upturned lip, a deep rich red brown color. It is approx 13" x 9.5 inches...
