Does anyone know what type of brush Indy uses in the Tanis Map Room?
Using my Archaeological skills, I have been able to disseminate this much :
[*] It is most likely an antique.
[*] It was probably purchased in the UK.
[*] It is in a "half-moon" shape.
[*] It is made either out of horse hair or camel hair.
[*] It has a thick width.
[*] It was likely used in its previous life as a shoe brush or a neck duster.

Yep! Knibs7 nailed it. Of course you could get a paintbrush, dip it in stain, cut the handle off and shape it to get the look you want. Maybe an old hand wisk from a fireplace would work, too.

Indeed!
If you search for vintage decorator's brushes or vintage dust brushes, you can sometimes get a good starting point.

Re: Indy's Brush?
This started out life as a Wallpaper Paste Brush, cut it down and had to dye the bristles, still not dark enough yet.
Final dimensions are 3 5/8" x 7/8" x 1 3/8", with 3 1/4" bristles.
