Asked before, but added info, and no one's been able to answer.
Hard to explain, but I'm looking for the term for what these would've been...if they even existed.
They are mitts or gloves of sorts, without fingers. Each one would've been 2 pieces and would've had key locks of sorts on the outside. The hand and wrist would've been set inside, then the top put over it. Each would have a "shelf" inside with a curved cut out, to allow for a tight fit, around the wrist and fist, then lock together. They would've been made of metal...iron? Not actually hand cuffs but whole hand or fist cuffs.
Also, how much would one weigh if made of iron?
I'm writing a story where I've a magical character, who is "shackled" in these things so she can't use her hands in casting spells.
Cuffs, shackles, and Manacles are all just around the wrist, leaving the hand exposed. Needs to be like a oven mitt without the thumb...but iron.
