Well, there's now one more alternative. The question now becomes, "Dry it on its base or in a stand, knot down, or just hang it parallel to the floor from a nail in the wall?" Pretty little thing. Shame it causes such controversy.
Wow, what a beautiful handle!
How unusual.... can't say I've seen one like that before. Cool.

Wow that looks amazing! Why does it cause controversy?
It was just an attempt at humor. There are two schools of thought on how a brush should be placed to dry; either resting on its base with the knot pointing up or suspended by its handle in a brush stand with the knot pointing down. Periodically there are inquiries about which method is best. They produce a thread with advocates for the two schools of drying arguing and quoting to support their 'position'. The controversy seldom produces any acrimony or irrefutable arguments. This brush doesn't look like it would lend itself easily to either drying method but the opening in the handle would allow it to be hung from a nail thereby creating three sects of drying. We now have Uppers, Downers and Off the Wallers. There is some archeological evidence in the form of vintage brushes with acutely distorted bristles that a sect of Leave It in the Muggers once existed but they seldom make an appearance these days and are thought to have died out.
