Description: | A cast lead palm guard dating from the post-medieval or modern period. The palm guard is maximum of 84.0mm long and 52.2mm wide. It has a maximum thickness of 8.6mm and a mass of 176g. The palm guard is broadly oval in plan. In profile, the longer axis of the palm guard is convex on the reverse (palm side) but broadly straight on the front. The palm guard has broadly D-shaped cross-section with a convex front and a flatter reverse (palm side). The apex of the convex front is slightly offset from the centre of the front. There is a circular depression, 17mm in diameter, slightly offset from the centre of the front. The palm guard has a cream/brown surface, although the grey of the metal is visible where there has been some loss of surface, particularly around the edges. The object recorded here is similar to palm-guards illustrated in "Detector Finds 2", Bailey, 1993, p65. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Slarke, Duncan - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
