Description: | Two cast lead objects possibly used as palm guards. The guards are oval. One face is rounded for a similar purpose and the other is flattened presumably to aid use. The objects may have been used to protect the palm from the force of using awls and punches in an industry such as leatherworking. There are circular marks on the rounded surfaces presumably the result of casting. The metal is mid greyish-brown and fairly corroded. 1) 98g 64.1mm x 51.2mm x 5.6mm 2) 206g 96.3mm x 58.7mm x 10.1mm
