I was startled, discerning the volume and splendor of her robes; they were multicolored and brilliant in their sheens and chromatic textures, and so draped and worn that, particularly at the hem, the diverse borders of these various garments seemed to compete with one another to win the observer's accolade as the finest, the most resplendent, of all.

The second palanquin was preciously freighted with chests and boxes, colorful and bound with brass and chains. - (Slave Girl of Gor)
