Descripción
Gauntlets with a long cuff encircling the forearm up to the elbow where the edge often was cut at an angle to form a point. They were characteristic of foot soldiers' armor in the 16th century, and common for light cavalry from the 15th to the 17th century when they were worn on the left or bridle arm only.
