Can anyone identify this archery glove?

This historic three-finger glove... I'd like to have one like that, without modern velcro and elastic stuff.

Has anyone seen a pattern for making such a glove, or better pictures of one?

Can't help you there but it does look elegant. 

I don't like the commercial gloves, I find the leather is way too thick, so I made my own out of very thin leather.  It's simple but the fit needs improvement

Im sure a small antler button would work good for the wrist strap portion. Pretty cool looking glove.

The detail is from a figure in a book called "English Longbowman 1330-1515" by Clive Bartlett. I think the fingers will most likely be sewn just like the fingers of a normal glove of the time.

The way the wrist and fingers look snug suggests there might not be a palm to the glove. I'm going to find a one-size-too-small work glove and try to cut the shape out.

I wonder if instead of fingers it's wrapping back around at the knuckles to a tab?

I cut up a standard glove that was one size too small and added a cord and toggle and have been using it for some time. It took some adjustment of my release style, but it was worth eliminating the velcro strap from my life.
