Gauntlet for the Left Hand
Gilt copper ornament attributed to Jörg Sigman German
The decoration of this gauntlet matches that of a complete armor (now in the Art History Museum, Vienna) that was made for Archduke Maximilian (later Emperor Maximilian II) in 1557. The applied bands of gilt copper ornament are attributed to the Augsburg goldsmith Jörg Sigman (about 1527–1601).
