Description: | A Post-Medieval cast lead object: a palm guard, for use by a leather worker to protect the palm whilst stitching. In plan it is oval in shape, pointed at one end. It is D-shaped in cross-section. The domed surface is marked by one incised line at one edge and the flat underside has several irregular indentations in the centre. Bailey (1995, 64-65) dates such objects to the 17th century onwards.
