Description: | A Post-Medieval (early 18th century) lead alloy palm guard. The palm guard has been cast and is circular in shape with three loops set along the outer edge; one loop is complete and two are broken. The obverse is concave with a series of rough circular indentations across the surface arranged in concentric circles; the reverse is flat. Leather straps would have been tied into the loops, which would have been fastened to the hand holding the guard firmly in the centre of the palm. The object may have been used by a leather worker or sail maker to protect the palm whilst stitching tough material.
Dimensions: diameter: 34.05mm; thickness: 6.68mm; weight: 33.76g.
