I'm just going by the picture. It has the belt around the Chief's Crest, that makes it a Clansman Crest.
So, I think we're saying the same thing.

Essentially...but I would argue that it is a badge, since the crest belongs to the chief as part of his arms. The chief's crest becomes a clansman's badge when the buckle & strap is added.
An armiger may wear his/her crest as a badge as well, but with a plain circlet -- no buckle & strap.
And, whenever the badge is displayed on stationary, literature, etc. the statement Cirean Ceann Cinnidh or "The Crest of the Clan Chief" is normally added.
But again, I'm being picky.
