Pair of mitten gauntlets by Valentin Siebenbürger. Two metal armored gloves, likely made of steel, displayed on a gray background. The gauntlets are predominantly silver with gold accents. Each gauntlet has a flared cuff at the top. The main body of the gauntlets is divided into sections by gold lines. The fingers are enclosed together in a single compartment, forming a mitten shape. The gauntlets have a series of small rivets along the edges. The background is a plain gray color, with a slight shadow visible beneath the gauntlets.
