79 (c) Linen gauntlet

<> a 0 3.4 8.9 11.7 0 3.2 a 8.4 18 8.4

Open round aaa. Made of rather coarse cloth, with a lining of very fine cloth. This latter has almost entirely disappeared. Pieces of applied cloth 1.2 wide on back at bottom. Whole gauntlet made of two thicknesses of cloth in addition to lining. Sewn together up sides. Linen tapes .3 wide: about 20 long.

This must have been made for a child: probably for archery. Cp. 79 (r), a man's gauntlet.
