A book of rules;
And each must make-
Ere life has flown-
A stumbling block
Or a stepping stone”

It looks like a vihta. Roughly similar to small broom of birch twigs with leaves on. Used in saunas. I would hazard a guess that this is something similar. Not necessarily birch though - could be oak or something else handily available in Bohemia.

I don't have that particular one in color linked from http://larsdatter.com/baths.htm -- but there are a few others (in terms of related imagery in color), which include the leafy thingies.

I have many of them in color on my household website, http://muckley.us/ and then follow the link to the 1386 resource page. http://muckley.us/1386/ They are listed under Women's underwear. http://muckley.us/1386/w-underwear.html
