A Post Medieval lead alloy leather worker's palm guard (possibly). The object is roughly ovoid in plan and has a convex section with a rough surface; the base is flat and has a smooth surface. The guard would have been wrapped in leather or cloth and then strapped to the hand to protect the palm when forcing needles through very coarse material, such as sail cloth. It is thought that palm guards with this shape may have been cast in oyster shells. An example of a palm guard with part of the oyster shell still attached was found on the Isle of Wight and can be seen on the Portable Anti…
