Gauntlet

Cleveland Museum of Art

Gauntlet by an unknown artist. The image shows a right-hand mannequin palm made of small, interlocking metal rings, likely steel. The back of a hand is visible with four fingers and a thumb. The metal rings are dark gray and silver in color. The background is a plain gray surface. The rings are arranged in a pattern to form the shape of the back of a hand, and they appear to be connected to each other in a mesh-like fashion. The metal rings exhibit a subtle sheen. The fingers are slightly spread apart. The wrist area is not visible.
