Common Gorean
Slave Collar |
|
|
|
~ Special Note of Interest ~
Though called 'common', it should be noted that it is common to the central regions of Gor, with those of lands such as Turia and Torvaldsland having their own styles of collar which to them are the norm. |

The common Gorean collar, on the other hand, is a flat, snugly fitting steel band. Both collars lock in the back, behind the girl's neck.
{Nomads of Gor, page 16} |
|
|
|
Most Gorean collars, decorated or not, are basically a flat, circular band, hinged, which locks snugly about the girl's neck.
{Slave Girl of Gor, page 251} |

These collars are normally measured individually to the girl as is most slave steel. The collar is regarded not simply as a designation of slavery and a means for identifying the girl's owner and his city but as an ornament as well. Accordingly the Gorean master is often extremely concerned that the fit of the graceful band will be neither too tight nor too loose. The collar is normally worn snugly, indeed so much so that if the snap of a slave leash is used, the girl will normally suffer some discomfort.

"You will in time be given a pretty collar." He indicated Elizabeth's yellow enameled collar, bearing the legend of the House of Cernus. "It will even have a lock ..."
{Assassin of Gor, page 154} |

The small, heavy lock on a girl's slave collar, incidentally, may be of several varieties, but almost all are cylinder locks, either of the pin or disk variety. In a girl's collar lock there will be either be six pins or six disks, on each, it is said, for each letter in the Gorean word for slave, 'Kajira.'

~ Note of Interest ~
One book later, an interesting contradiction occurs regarding the number of pins in a slave collar lock ... |
|
|
|
The common female slave collar on Gor has a seven-pin lock. There are, incidentally, seven letters in the most common Gorean expression for female slave, 'Kajira'.
