#Xelhuaztli ➊: маленькая щетка : small brush;
essentially a tied bundle of stiff, durable, plant stems/roots which grow in the wild.

If item was exclusively to scrub clean the #Metlatl ➋, it was prefixed —appropriately— as Metla∙xelhuaztli.

Indigenous #Anahuacah (inc. the real #Mexicah) people would repurpose item to brush long hair, as well
