On second (or is it third?) thought, the sound board is hold the tension
of the strings which is much more than the weight of the oud. I think it
could take it. (The roses may be a different issue).

Oh, didn't think about that. The sound board on my oud could take it just
fine, and it doesn't have any roses. (It's a really cheap oud - got it in
a pawn shop for $40). Might depend on the weight of the instrument too -
mine is really light, but an Egyptian one might be too heavy for that.

the soundboard is much too fragile and it would damage
the roses.

Does your oud have three sound holes (usual for ouds)? You could run the
thong in one of the side holes and out the other. Avoids interference with
the strings and the oud couldn't slip out of the harness.

I wonder about the materials used in 16-18th cent. clothing, especially pants
and shirts. I know that wearing leather pants would make holding the lute much
easier while sitting. It would be stylish at a minimum.

Before inventing new ways of holding an instrument, it's useful to look at what
early players actually did.
For the lute the following come to mind:
