Made from the tough heather growing across Ireland's hills, the heather brush was a simple but hardworking tool.

Used around the home and farm, it helped with sweeping floors, yards and byres, tidying paths, cleaning and many other everyday jobs.

Made by hand from natural materials, no two brushes were quite the same. They were practical, durable and a reminder of a time when people made use of what the land provided.

This RareGer card celebrates an ordinary object with an extraordinary place in Ireland's rural story.

Simple tools. Strong people. A lasting legacy.
