    Not according to the Lyon Court which is the authoritative source for matters of Scottish Heraldry. The terminology they use for that element of the "clansman's crest badge" is "strap and buckle" as per this letter, and in the links below:

    Frank Adam in The Clans, Septs & Regiments of the Scottish Highlands uses similar terminology.

    A buckler is a small, round shield held in the hand or on the forearm.
