Left Gauntlet

Cleveland Museum of Art

Metal gauntlet by an unknown artist titled "Left Gauntlet". The gauntlet is made of metal, with a predominantly silver color and visible signs of wear and tear, including scratches and rust spots. The cuff that covers the forearm is secured with rivets. The cuff features a raised rope-like design around its edge. A series of parallel lines encircles the middle of the cuff. The hand portion comprises multiple articulated plates that resemble scales or leaves, which are also secured by rivets. These plates exhibit significant rusting, particularly at the fingertips. The thumb is partially visible, covered by a separate piece of metal. The background of the image transitions from dark at the top to light gray at the bottom.
