I agree David that is a masterpiece.
The baldric raised edges and low middle channel that I am referring to can be found on this statue. Sorry for the poor quality but it renders the idea nontheless. If you have a close look, you can see that the edges appear raised or rolled over leaving a shallow channel. I think, as pointed out, that it could have been edged with thinner leather. Better yet, roll the edge of the same strap and then sew it to hold it in place. The stitch and rolled edge will give that raised appearence....I think.
Thank you all for your replies. Keep them coming.
