~ State Slave Silks ~

The female state slave of Ar wears a brief, gray slave livery, with matching gray collar. Save for the color it is identical with most common slave livery. About her left ankle is normally locked a gray steel band, to which five simple gray bells of metal, are attached. Many years ago, in Ar and Ko-ro-ba, and several of the other northern cities, common slave livery had been white but diagonally striped, in one color or another; gradually over the years this style had changed; the standard livery was also, now, commonly, slashed to the waist; as before, it remained sleeveless; these matters, as generally in the cut of robes and style of tunics, undergo the transitions of fashion.

{Assassin of Gor, page 393}

They wore the brief gray livery of the state slave of Ar, slashed to the waist, knotted with a gray cord; about their throats were locked the gray metal collar of Ar's state slave; they were barefoot; on the left ankle of each was the gray metal band, with its five gray bells, worn by the female state slave. Their hair, in state fashion, had been cut short, shaped, and combed back around the head. The wrists of each were confined behind her back with gray slave bracelets.

{Assassin of Gor, pages 395-396}

The girl turned and faced me suddenly. She wore the briefly skirted gray slave livery of the state slave of Ar, the gray collar, the slender band of gray metal with its five simple bells locked about her left ankle. I heard the bells as she moved toward me. In her eyes there were tears.

{Assassin of Gor, page 405}

It was a tunic resembling that of a state slave ... had been brief, sleeveless and gray, slashed to the waist.
