Description
Historical Significance of Lamellar Plates
These Lombardic Byzantine loose lamellar plates are inspired by early 7th-century medieval armor discovered in Niederstotzingen, Germany. Their unique elongated, slightly curved shape with precise hole placement was widely used by Lombards, Byzantines, and Germanic tribes to create durable and flexible armor. Lamellar plates protected warriors and they were a key element in armor construction.
Material and Craftsmanship
Each plate is made from polished 20-gauge mild steel. The pre-drilled holes allow for easy assembly, lacing, and repair of armor. Whether creating tassets (thigh guards), corsets, or pauldrons, these plates are designed to form strong overlapping rows with leather cord or paracord.
Versatile Armor Building
This set of 100 lamellar armor plates/Lamellar scales is ideal for medieval reenactments, LARP, cosplay, costume making. The standardized hole pattern ensures compatibility with multiple armor designs and helps beginners and experienced crafters to construct functional armor.
