Prince's pair of personally-worn black leather gloves from his wedding to Mayte Garcia on Valentine's Day, 1996, featuring Zodiacal symbols appliquéd on the top of each hand: Prince's Gemini symbol on the right hand, and Mayte's Scorpio symbol on the left hand. Prince desired to wear these two symbols on their wedding day, representing their interconnectedness. In very good to fine condition, with scattered wear and staining.
The presence of the Gemini sign is especially noteworthy, as Prince had long explored the idea of duality in his music: it was not only his star sign, but a name used for an alter-ego in multiple music videos, including 'Batdance' and 'Partyman.'
Consignor notes that these gloves were acquired directly from Prince's ex-wife Mayte Garcia.
