ICcode for "Turian collar"

A [b]Turian collar[/b] is a rigid metal [about=collar]collar[/about]
which is circular in cross-section, and so has an overall torus shape.
The term was
invented by [about=John Norman]John Norman[/about] for use in his
[about=Gor]Gor[/about] series of science-fiction books (where the
adjective "Turian" refers to the city of Turia in the southern
hemisphere of the planet Gor, which has some cultural practices
different from those of the main northern-hemisphere cities).  In the
following quote, it is contrasted with the closely-fitting cylindrical
collar of the northern cities:

[item]"The Turian collar lies loosely on the girl, a round ring; it fits
so loosely that, when grasped in a man's fist, the girl can turn within
it; 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. The Turian collar is more difficult to engrave, but it, like the
flat collar, will bear some legend assuring that the girl, if found,
will be promptly returned to her Master." - [b]Nomads of Gor[/b]

Several BDSM scene manufacturers now produce Turian collars, either with
internal screw locking mechanisms, or with tags which allow a padlock to
be used.
