Thank you to everyone: the biblio indications are very interesting.
Unfortounately Robinson says what everyone can see on etruscan artifacts, Barron could be more useful, but I haven't still read it copletely. But he too seems to add nothing definitive on how these type of plates were laced.
It seems that the plates of each horizontal row are sewn togheter with a leather or textile hemming at the top hedge, with diagonal lacing visible. The top hedge of the row overlapping the upper row.
But how were the horizontal rows connected each other?
No lateral connection seems to be.
