Armored Knight Gauntlet
A gauntlet is an essential piece of hand protection used by medieval warriors to guard their hands and wrists. A wide strap around the wrist section helps keep the armored glove securely positioned during action.
Historical Purpose of Gauntlets
Crafting metal gloves required exceptional skill because each finger needed small overlapping steel plates to flex freely. Throwing down a gauntlet before an opponent was a traditional gesture used to challenge someone to a formal duel.
Natural Colors of an Armored Gauntlet
- Overlapping steel plates: Metallic gray, shiny silver, or burnished steel
- Wrist strap: Dark brown or black leather
- Internal glove liner: Soft brown leather or thick fabric
- Strap buckle: Brass or tarnished bronze
