Talante

Fish´s scale or "Talante"was a kind of especially fine and gracefully built scale armour.It was worn and possibly invented by the Valar (Ulmo was said to have been clad in fine mail like fish-skin) and later adapted by the High-Elves and possibly the Númenóreans.The feanorian Warriors wore the talante in combination with the ambasse, large tear-drop shaped elven shield, greaves, vambraces, gauntlets, Cassa, spear and sword.The Sindar sometimes combined Fishscale with Chainmail obtained from the Dwarves.
