plaque belt

A military belt formed from interlocking metal plates or featuring metal plates riveted to a leather base. Common in the funerary brasses , very few real examples remain. They were generally formed from cast bronze, brass or latten , usually thick enough to give some value to the casting. Modern armourers have begun to make plaque belts for consumption by the tournament societies.
