Mitten-gauntlets, XVI c.
While manufacturing of these mitten-gauntlets V. Behaim's drawing of the Caspar von Frundsberg's landsknecht armour (Germany, c. 1527) was used as a base. Original gauntlets have mail defence of the fingers which was replaced with the defence used in the classic mitten-gauntlets of that time.
Metal surface was aged in the Renaissance style to give the gauntlets the view of the original armours of XVI c.
Made in 2006.
