Baldric

A baldric (also baldrick, bawdrick, bauldrick as well as other rare or obsolete variations) is a belt worn over one shoulder that is typically used to carry a weapon (usually a sword) or other implement such as a bugle or drum.The design offers more support for weight than a standard waist belt, without restricting movement of the arms, and while allowing easy access to the object carried.[5] During ancient Roman times the balteus (plural baltei) was a type of baldric commonly used to suspend a sword.It was a belt generally worn over the shoulder, passing obliquely down to the side, typically made of leather, often ornamented with precious stones, metals or both.The Knights of Columbus 4th Degree Colour Corps uses a baldric as part of their uniform;[7][8] it supports a ceremonial sword.
