Description: | Cast lead palm guard. A flat lead sheet, 7.3mm thick, in the shape of an oyster shell (these objects may have been cast in oyster shells). One surface is smooth, whilst the other is rough with two overlapping indented circles.
It is suggested that these objects, in use from the Post Medieval to Modern periods, were used to protect the palm when leather working and for other activities which involved putting pressure from a tool or needle onto the palm. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Crump, Barry - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
