A Prince stage worn white lace right-hand glove with rhinestone embellishment. The glove was obtained by a concert attendee at the February 3, 1985, Birmingham, Alabama, concert that was part of Prince’s Purple Rain Tour. At the concert, according to the concert-goer, Prince removed the glove and teased the audience that he would throw it out to them. Instead, he dropped the glove and left it on stage. After the concert, the consignor waited near the stage and asked a maintenance crew member working on stage if she could have the glove. The maintenance person tossed it to her. She has kept the glove since that time. The glove, presumed to have been designed by Marie France, is made of white floral lace fabric and has a ruffle hem. Attached at the wrist is a bracelet-style rhinestone embellishment sewn onto the glove with two multi-stone circular features. This bracelet detail is typical of the glove embellishments worn by Prince throughout his Purple Rain period. Accompanied by a letter of authenticity from the woman who obtained the glove.
