Mitten Gauntlet

Missaglia workshop

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a silver-colored, metallic object. The object is shaped like a mitten, with a long, narrow, tapered portion and a wider portion at the end. The object is made of metal, likely steel or iron, and has a smooth surface with small spots of darker metal and tiny rivets along the edges. The object is positioned diagonally, with the tapered end pointing up and to the left. The background is a plain white surface. The object appears to be a gauntlet, specifically a mitten gauntlet, from the Missaglia workshop.
