Steel Gauntlet -Embossed Finish

Monday 30 January 2006 @ 5:16 am

Our Steel Gauntlets with embossed finish are made for display and decoration and cannot be worn.

These gauntlets from Armaduras Medievales are nevertheless historically accurate in their design and decoration and provide some insight into the capabilities of the medieval armorers.

Gauntlets were armored gloves used in medieval Europe. Gauntlets usually had a stiff cuff attached to plates which overlapped each other from the knuckles back to the wrist. The knuckles were protected by a raised or embossed plate which attached to the small finger plates. The finger plates numbered four on the pinkie to six on the middle finger (this varied with hand size). The thumb had similar protection but was only connected to the cuff by a leaf plate to allow the digit freedom of movement. The metal portion of the gauntlet was attached to a leather glove inside it. Obviously, gauntlets varied in materials and embellishment depending on whether they were war, jousting, or ceremonial types. On an interesting note, the phrase “throw down the gauntlet” derives from medieval Europe. One knight could challenge another by throwing his gloves (gauntlets) on the ground before the other knight. If the other knight picked up the gauntlets, he accepted the challenge and the two fought.

Made of resin and beautifully detailed by hand in rich deep colors and glistening gold tones. Set includes sarcophagus with decorated lid and removable mummy.

The term Pharaoh derives from an Egyptian word, Pr-Aa, meaning “Great House.” Originally, the term was used for a royal palace, later it came into vogue to refer to the king. Pharaoh was applied to Egyptian kings from c. 1500 to 343 BC. Pharaohs were viewed as gods; keeping their divine status even after death. A pharaoh’s will was supreme, and he governed by royal decree, with the assistance of viziers. The common people nevertheless judged a pharaoh by his deeds; many were criticized, plotted against, and even deposed and killed.
