Description: | A lead cast object of a type usually identified as a palm guard of Post-Medieval to Modern date, though this function is yet to be proven. Palm guards, usually of bronze or iron were used for leather working as protection for the palm when pushing needles through heavy textile or leather. The guard is of a crude semicircular shape and is concave with a ridge or rim along the outer straighter edge. In the centre of the outer surface are two circular depressions. All of the outer edges are irregular. For similar examples see Bailey, G. 2001, (p.64-5).
