Description: | Cast lead palm guard. The object is tear-drop shaped in plan, D-shaped in section. This would have been used to protect the palm from the force of using awls and punches in an industry such as leatherworking. There is an indentation in the centre of the flat face of the guard where the punching instrument wore into the guard.
