I have heard these refered to many times as the beginnings of the clansman buckle and strap in scottish heraldry but I can not seem to find any in existance. Supposedly a chief would give a silver plate medallion that bore his crest to his retainers. This was to be held around the neck by a leather buckle and strap. When it was not in use it was stored flat with the buckle and strap surrounding the crest. Thus was the beginning of the clansman’s crest badge.
Does anyone have any images of such a thing. Below is the only one I have ever seen.

How about a badge of office?
This is the Cronista de Armas’ badge, which I gleaned from this (Seb’s?) site.

My more cynical side suspects that the real origin of the strap & buckle "clan" badge was in fact the Garter; but that some observant (or creative) chap may have seen an example or two of the item in Don Pottinger’s artwork above and decided it was a more acceptable and home-grown excuse—er, justification—for the practice.
Which is just fine with me!
Here are some of the images that I have found. The last two are more like what I was thinking.

What’s the story on these?
—Guy
My understanding is that they are made using a wax seal on a puddle of melted pewter. I think that they are just a pendant someone decided to make.
Guy,
They look very much look like livery buttons that have been converted for another use by piercing and introducing a ring to allow to hang in some unknown reason.
My post seems to have crossed Harold’s, so I stand corrected if they have indeed made from a seal matrix.
John
This is the closest to the description given by Harold .
Not Scottish but very very American ...Mohawk Chief , Joseph Fayadaneega called the Brant,the Great Captain of the Six Nations.
Very inspiring hero
