As Blackheifer said, there are many items that could be construed as "cursed" in the game. The gloves being one of the first you encounter. You also have items with conditions, such as the druid medium armor in the Owl Bear cave (slight bonus, but also a penalty if you hit a natural creature). Or the mace from the cleric of pain in the Goblin camp (the one whipping himself), or the Gaive at the secret cave under the Druid enclave that harms you while it harms your opponent as other examples. Also the masks in the Hags lair are cursed. So there are items, but in most cases they are removable without needing a dispell, or wisdom check.
