Scope note
Round metal plates attached to various armor pieces as decoration or, more commonly, as extra protection, either to cover gaps where the pieces of the armor ensemble joined, to reinforce weak places, or to protect straps holding pieces in place. They also were sometimes fitted to the handles of weapons such as daggers and pollaxes as shields for the hand.
