Mitten Gauntlet for Left Hand with Rondel (Manifer)
The image depicts a metal gauntlet for the left hand. The gauntlet is made of silver-colored metal, likely steel, and has a weathered appearance with visible signs of wear and tear. The gauntlet has a flared cuff at the wrist, which is wider at the back than at the front. A small, round metal piece, called a rondel or manifer, sits on top of the cuff. The main body of the gauntlet covers the back of the hand and fingers, with a more pronounced curvature to fit the natural shape of the hand. Two small rivets are visible on the side. The fingertip area tapers to a point. The background of the image is a plain gray color.
