Finger Guard Item Number: 3275/4 from the MOA: University of British Columbia

Description

Three finger guards, used in carpet weaving. The wooden guards are long and narrow, each with a large hollowed-out hook that slides onto the finger to protect it while working. The tips of two are bent at an angle, while the middle guard is only slightly so. Each has a flat portion above the hook that rests along the back of the hand. The guards each have a hole in the top through which twine is strung to tie them together.
