They take the form of separate plates hanging from the [[breastplate]] or [[~~fauld~~Faulds (armour)\|faulds]]s. They may be made from a single piece or segmented. The segmented style of tassets connected by sliding rivets produced during the 16th century is also known as ''[[almain rivets]]''. From the 16th century onward, the tassets were sometimes integrated with the [[cuisses]] to create fully articulated leg defenses that continued from the lower edge of the breastplate down to the [[poleyn]]. == External links == {{Commonscatinline}} [https://web.archive.org/web/20051201095733/http://www.clemusart.com/museum/collect/armrglos.html Cleveland Museum of Art] glossary of arms and armor {{medieval-armour-stub}}▼ {{Elements of Medieval armor}} [[Category:~~Medieval~~Western ~~armor~~plate armour]] ~~[[Category:Personal armor]]~~ ▲{{medieval-armour-stub}}
