Pair of Gauntlets

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Pair of Gauntlets by artist not specified. Two gold-colored metal gauntlets are shown side by side, viewed from the back. They are made of a textured, hammered metal with a dark patina. Each gauntlet has a pointed tip and a flared cuff at the wrist. The cuffs have a decorative border. The gauntlets appear to be made of brass or bronze. They are roughly the same size and shape, with slight variations in the details. The background is a plain gray color.
