Object Name: snow goggles

Description: A curved wooden eye-screen with attached thread. They are designed to be tied over the eyes like a pair of spectacles, being adapted to the forehead and nose, and hollowed out to favour the motion of the eyelids. Only a few rays of light would be admitted through the narrow slits opposite each eye.
