Coil Collar

A coil collar is constructed from a coil of marsh vine. The material is flexible

and not as sturdy as a collar made of metal, but is useful in establishing the

ownership of a slave:

“It was hot, and the coils of the marsh vine about my throat were hot.

Beneath the coils my neck was red, and slippery with sweat and dirt. I put

my finger in the collar to pull it a bit from my throat.” (John Norman,

Raiders of Gor, 1971)

Cord Collar

The cord collar consists of a light cord, which is tied about the slave's throat and

has, dangling from it, a small disk which identifies the name of the slave’s

master. This type of collar is used in areas of Gor where metal is scarce or too

expensive to be used for slave collars:

"On some rence islands I have heard, incidentally, that the men have

revolted, and enslaved their women. These are usually kept in cord collars,

with small disks attached to them, indicating the names of their masters."

(John Norman, Vagabonds of Gor, 1987)

Dance Collar

The dance collar is a collar designed primarily for its aesthetic value as

adornment for Gorean dancers. It consists primarily of a collar with a largely

ornamental light-weight chain attached, which sometimes is also attached to

wrist cuffs. The design varies from region to region and from dancer to dancer:

Kur Collar

“A wrist ring was fastened on her right wrist. The long, slender, gleaming

chain was fastened to this and, looping down and up, ascended gracefully

to a wide chain ring on her collar, through which it freely passed, thence

descending, looping down, and ascending, looping up, gracefully, to the

left wrist ring. If she were to stand quietly, the palms of her hands on her

thighs, the lower portions of the chain, those two dangling loops, would

have been about at the level of her kneels, just a little higher. The higher

portion of the chain, of course, would be at the collar loop.” (John

Norman, Kajira of Gor, 1983)
