The armour made of plates in Penjikent is depicted on the western wall of room 13 of sector VI, on the northern wall of room 55 of sector VI (Fig. 55), on the southern wall of room 1 of object VI. A rider, painted on a shield from Mount Mug, is wearing plate armour. The painting from Varakhsha also contains figures of warriors in plate armour (Fig. 56).

3. Rows of small rectangular plates with two semicircular protrusions on one side of the plates alternate with rows of plates with a figured contour, which, perhaps, conveys not the edge of the plate, but two pairs of holes characteristic of lamellar armour, through which the laces passed. Waist to hem - 14 rows of plates. 7 rows of plates are visible on the chest, and then the mantle begins. The warrior depicted on the mural on the northern wall of room 55 of sector VI is wearing such armour (Fig. 55, 1). The rest of the armour design is the same as the previous ones.
