Gothic Mitten Gauntlet

Cleveland Museum of Art

The Gothic Mitten Gauntlet by Hans Stopler, a medieval piece of armor, is a single, dark gray metallic gauntlet. The gauntlet has a wide cuff that covers the wrist and part of the forearm, with a thumb and finger section that comes to a point. The piece appears to be made of metal and shows signs of aging with darker spots and discoloration across its surface. There are hinges and rivets visible on the side of the gauntlet near the wrist area, suggesting how the different parts are connected. The background of the image transitions from dark at the top to light gray at the bottom.
