Erasing shield

Hand tool for controlling erasure of marks from paper

An erasing shield, eraser shield, or erasure shield is a thin template or mask used to control the effects of an eraser, typically on paper media used by an artist, calligrapher, drafter, or typist. The tool is made of a thin, flexible material such as transparent plastic, or stainless steel shim stock for durability. A number of narrow, straight or curved apertures have been punched out of the shield, similar to a drafting template or drawing stencil. The openings allow the eraser to work in a controlled fashion, while protecting masked areas of the paper from being erased or smeared.
