Description: | Lead palm guard or sailmaker's glove. Disc cut from lead sheet of light guage, now slightly concavo-convex. Crudely incised scratches define a rectilinear grid on both sides, and the current form suggests this was a reversible protection for the user of a knife or other light hand tool, bent to fit snugly in the contours of the craftsman's palm. This is the lightest example of a palm guard encountered by this reporter. Suggested date: Post-Medieval, 1600-1800.Diameter: 31.7mm, Thickness: 1.8mm, Weight: 11.81gms.
