Armor of the Divine Triad : lamellar armor

[Dan Howard]

Well, if it is plates that you want, look at any of the large size publications on Neo-Assyrian palace reliefs, for instance Barnett&Lorenzini's Assyrische Skulpturen, pl 65, 67, 81, 82, 142, 144, 152, 152, 153, 154, 155 and 156: they all show a row of lamellae, then a row of criss-cross hatching for the lacing, and then the next row of lamellae. If you do not have this book available, there are many others that show the same, from Sanherib onwards. But what you need are good representations of indivual lamellae.

These plates have to be laced to a backing. If you try any lacing arrangement for those hole patterns and not fix the assembly to a backing then the construction doesn't hold together.
