[quote]She wore rich green velvet, closed high about her neck,
trimmed with gold.
She took the next vial, which I had opened for her. “No,” she
said, handing it back to me.
Her hair, long, was braided. It was tied with golden string.
Marauders of Gor, page 112[/quote]
[quote]Her hands wore many rings. About her neck she wore,
looped, four chains of gold, with pendants. On her wrists were
bracelets of silver and gold.

[quote]My assistant and I knelt before her, at her feet. She
wore, beneath her green velvet, golden shoes. Marauders of Gor,

[quote]Near him, beside the high seat, sat his woman, Bera, her
hair worn high on her head, in a kirtle of yellow wool with
scarlet cape of the fur of the red sea sleen, and, about her
neck, necklaces of gold.

[quote]"She wore black and silver, a full, ankle-length gown of
rich, black velvet, with silver belts, or straps, that crossed
over her breasts, and tied about her waist. From it, by strings,
hung a silver purse, that seemed weighty. Her blond hair was
lifted from the sides and back of her head by a comb of bone and
leather, like an inverted isosceles triangle, the comb fastened
by a tiny black ribbon about her neck, and another such ribbon
about her forehead. Her cloak, of black fur, from the black sea
sleen, glossy and deep, swirled to her ankles. It was fastened
at the left shoulder by a large circular brooch of silver,
probably from Tharna."
Marauders of Gor, pg. 35[/quote]
[quote]"The stake in this challenge was the young man's sister,
a comely, blond lass of fourteen, with braided hair. She was
dressed in the full regalia of a free woman of the north. The
clothes were not rich, but they were clean, and her best. She
wore two brooches; and black shoes. The knife had been removed
from the sheath at her belt; she stood straight, but her head
was down, her eyes closed; about her neck, knotted, was a rope,
it fastened to a stake in the ground near the dueling square.
She was not otherwise secured. 'Forfeit the girl,' said Bjarni
of Thorstein Camp, addressing the boy, 'and I will not kill
you.' 'I do not care much for the making women of Torvaldsland
bond,' said Ivar. 'It seems improper,' he whispered to me. 'They
are of Torvaldsland!'"
Marauders of Gor, pg. 147[/quote]
[quote]"The free woman was a tall woman, large. She wore a great
cape of fur, of white sea-sleen, thrown back to reveal the
whiteness of her arms. Her kirtle was of the finest wool of Ar,
dyed scarlet, with black trimmings. She wore two brooches, both
carved of the horn of kailiauk, mounted in gold. At her waist
she wore a jewelled scabbard, protruding from which I saw the
ornamented, twisted blade of a Turian dagger; free women in
Torvaldsland commonly carry a knife; at her belt, too, hung her
scissors, and a ring of many keys, indicating that her hall
contained many chests or doors; her hair was worn high, wrapped
about a comb, matching the brooches, of the horn of kailiauk;
the fact that her hair was worn dressed indicated that she stood
in companionship; the number of keys, together with the
scissors, indicated that she was mistress of a great house. She
had gray eyes; her hair was dark; her face was cold, and harsh."
