| Description : | It consists of a leather strap that loops around thumb and covers palm. There is a metal buckle used for adjustments. On the palm there is a lighter material for reinforcement with a small, round portion next to the thumb. |
| Commentaires : | There are two types of palms; a seaming palm and a roping palm. The roping palm is heavier and has deeper, recessed dimples in the reinforced area across the palm with a tougher, leather backing. |
| Fonctions : | This device was used in sailmaking to protect the hand from pricking by needles and to help push the needles through the thick sail fabric |
