Gauntlet for the Right Hand

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image depicts a gauntlet for the right hand. The gauntlet has two sections. The top section is flared at the top and narrows down. The bottom section is bulbous and covers the palm and fingers. The entire piece appears to be made of metal and has a silver color with dark spots throughout, likely from wear and tear. There are small holes on the top section and a strap on the right side of the bottom section. The background is light gray. The gauntlet appears to be attributed to Gauntlet for the Right Hand by an unknown artist.
