Left Gauntlet
Metal gauntlet titled "Left Gauntlet" by artist unknown. The gauntlet is made of metal, with a series of overlapping scales or plates on the back of the hand. A row of rivets or small metal balls lines the edges of the scales. A strap with a buckle is on the wrist area. The cuff is long and tapering, with a slight curve to fit the shape of the arm. Three small holes are at the bottom edge. The surface shows signs of wear and aging. The background is plain and light-colored.
