This is a left gauntlet, a type of armor for the hand, made for Henry, Prince of Wales, son of King James I of England. Crafted by Jacob Halder, a renowned armorer, between 1600 and 1612, it features a black steel base adorned with intricate gilded patterns. This decorative detail reflects the high status of its intended wearer and showcases the artistry of armor making in the early 17th century. The gauntlet, now housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, is a testament to the craftsmanship and symbolism that characterized armor during this period.
