Left Gauntlet
Metal gauntlet, titled "Left Gauntlet", made by an unidentified artist. The gauntlet is made of metal, likely steel, with a silver-gray color. It has a black leather or fabric cuff at the top with a braided metal edge. The main body of the gauntlet is shaped to fit the back of a left hand, with a curved, wide wrist area that tapers to a narrower wrist. There are horizontal ridges across the wrist area. Small golden rivets are used to hold the overlapping metal scales in place. The fingers have separate metal scales that are also held together with golden rivets. The scales on the fingers are shaped like the scales of a fish. The background of the image fades from dark gray at the top to light gray at the bottom.
