Lamellar Armor
Armor of small plates laced together with cord
Lamellar armor is constructed by lacing together small rectangular plates (lamellae) with leather cord or thread, rather than riveting rings as in chainmail. Used extensively across East Asia, Central Asia, and the Byzantine Empire, notable variants include Japan's ō-yoroi, Korea's chalgap, and the Mongol kalkan. Weighing 15-20kg, it offered easy field repair since individual damaged plates could be quickly replaced.
