Both consisted of overlapping plates (lamellae) that were interlocked in horizontal rows to form a dense pattern reminiscent of the scales of a fish. While scale armor was also laced, sewn, or riveted onto a stable base made of padded cloth or tough leather, lamellar armor did not require any supporting material.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e \u003cp\u003eThey were widespread in many cultures and periods and came in a variety of styles, shapes and patterns.
