Broomcorn - the material used in this broom - wasn't developed until about 1765. Early in history, a preserved wing of a bird was used as a broom. Next, birch twigs, dogwood twigs, or heather were used to produce a functional broom. When broomcorn was developed, one of the earliest folk broom styles to come about was to mimic the shape of birds' wings by tightly binding small bundles of broomcorn down one side like a wing bone, and fanning it out the other side like feather.
