Luigi Ferrigo's Discarded Glove
A leather or fabric glove discarded by Luigi Ferrigo on Barbara's tent table after luring her away under the pretense of Sir William's horse. Oversized for a woman's hand, the glove carries traces of rough handling and serves as key evidence in Luigi's betrayal. Sheyrah discovers it and later presents it in Saladin's throne room, where it is identified as belonging to Saladin (not Luigi), exposing Luigi's deception and forcing his confession to the abduction. The glove is identical to another glove Luigi carries on his belt, suggesting a deliberate attempt to frame Saladin.
