Kolinsky sable-hair brush
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A Kolinsky sable-hair brush (also known as red sable or sable hair brush) is a top-of-the-line, valuable fine artists' brush made with sable hair.
The hair is obtained from the tail of the The Kolinsky Sable (Mustela sibtricus Palias), a small mammal with red fur, a species of sable. It is pale red in colour with darker tips. The hair has special qualities unmatched by any other: strength, slenderness, and great resiliency.
