Description
Bracer, made from a roughly cut-down shoe sole, sub-lenticular in shape, with a large slit in each side, no surviving seams. The fastening latchet and the buckle-strap from a Style 11b shoe both pass through the slits at the edge of the guard, their wide bases preventing them passing through entirely. The iron buckle is held by the folded strap terminal which is tunnel stitched down. Leather: guard probably cattle, straps calf.
