Description: | Cast lead palm guard for a leather worker's palm. The guard is oval in plan and slightly plano-convex in profile, but has been bent upwards at one edge. The shape is said to suggest that they were moulded in oyster shells. There is a slight circular depression or indentation, about the size of a finger-tip, in the upper face of the guard. This would have been wrapped in leather with a hole in it to match the depression in the lead. Bailey (1993) illustrates a similar example on page 65, Fig.2, which is dated from the 17th century.
