As it Appears
This foot scrubber (vajri) seems to be from southern India and also was made in the nineteenth century. It consists of a brass Indian camel mounted to an oblong pedestal with paw designs on the bottom that serves as the scrubbing area. The camel would be both beautiful, as it serves as the scrubber's grip. Usually, such scrubbers have been used by ladies while bathing to clean their feet, which was important because most people didn't even wear shoes. The totally enclosed set includes stones that cause the scrubber to rattle when it is used, alerting onlookers that someone is washing and asking them not to enter.
