A black and white photograph featuring a dark colored heavy duty safety glove. The material of the glove, possibly suede or a similar texture fabric has become worn out and is in an overall depleted state. This right-handed glove has small pieces of the material missing, including a hole at the top of the ring finger. Siting in the palm of the glove is debris, like a small piece of metal or plastic, dirt, small pebbles or rock fragments, a broken piece of glass and a mangled feather. Surrounding the glove are dirt like fragments of the disintegrated fabric and stitching thread that are coming loose but still attached at the wrist of the glove. This kind of thick material glove is often used by workers handling heavy equipment, machinery or construction material.
