The authors offer the circleof analogies which allow them to allocate the general and special signs of the same copies and alsoto define an origin, time of an existing and ethnocultural accessory of these rare finds. Emergence ofthe considered products is related with further development of the Mongolian tradition of production oflamellar armors from the wrong side of the soft basis enriched in the 2nd half of 14th century with newsamples for protection of soldiers` hands.
