Angled from the upper left, a steel gauntlet tapers from the forearm to a rounded plate covering the hand. The dark gray metal is weathered, its surface reflecting light in alternating smooth and rough patches. Small rivets secure overlapping sections, while a hinged plate with two rounded latches runs along the side. At the base, the rounded form gives way to jagged, irregular edges where it meets the surrounding shadow.
