Inspired by archaeological discoveries in the legendary sites of Birka and Balyk-Sook, these plates replicate the designs once worn by ancient warriors. Each lamella is carefully crafted from 20 gauge mild steel, known for its strength while remaining remarkably lightweight, ensuring that your completed armor will offer both protection and comfort. Measuring approximately 10 cm in length and 2.8 cm in width, each plate is designed to allow for flexible movement without sacrificing durability.
Imagine yourself donning a suit of armor as warriors did centuries ago. The lamellae feature a 4 mm diameter hole – perfect for lacing or riveting together, allowing for a customizable fit tailored to your preference.

Safety and preservation are as important as quality. Each set of lamellae is meticulously coated with a protective layer of oil before packaging. This serves as a temporary barrier against corrosion, protecting your investment during shipping and storage. To restore their pristine appearance, simply wipe off the oil with a suitable remover or even a dry cloth—maintenance is straightforward and hassle-free.
