This close-up print showcases a remarkable piece of 16th-century applied arts - the Mitten Gauntlet for the Right Hand, hailing from Nuremberg around 1540/50. Crafted by an unknown creator, this antique gauntlet is a testament to the skilled craftsmanship and artistry of its time. Made from steel and brass etched with intricate designs, this mitten gauntlet exemplifies both functionality and beauty. Its purpose was to protect the hand during warfare, reflecting the turbulent times in which it was created.
