A paintbrush measuring as long as double-storied house has been declared world’s largest paintbrush by Guinness Book of Worlds Records.

Sujit Das, an Assam based artist has used this mammoth sized brush to paint huge colour images of Mahatma Gandhi and freedom fighter Bhagat Singh at his art school in Assam’s Nagaon town. The brush crafted by him in 2012 features in the latest 2015 edition of the Guinness World.

The brush made from logs of wood and pieces of bamboo weighs around 22 kg. The bristles are made of horse-tail hair.

With this, das has broken previous 2009 record of Romanian artist Primaria Municipului Campaina of Campina city, whose paintbrush measured more than 14 feet.
