Description: | Lead possible palm guard. Cast sheet fragment cut to a pointed leaf shape, with a small hole of diameter 1.8mm close to the edge which was perhaps intended to receive a thin cord for suspension. The edges are nicked all round, with most of these cut marks made from one side, and both flat faces are scored with numerous straight cut marks running at various angles. There is also a central indentation, and the object is now curled over. The object is only lightly patinated, suggesting a relatively recent date. Suggested date: Post-Medieval, 1700-1800.Length (as found): 25mm, Width: 25mm, Thickness: 2.5mm, Weight: 21.56gms.
