The gauntlets do not exactly duplicate the ones in the film. Having made two
unsuccessful attempts at duplicating those, I altered the center design to take advantage
of the much more clear picture of the young Theoden's shield in the LOTR Weaponry book.
The photos I have of the other design are not clear enough to be duplicated very well.
The new center design is embroidered, rather than painted. A scan of the nearly completed
gauntlet is here. The pattern for the design is
here.
