In a sense all slaves are exhibited as slaves. Does the tunic, the ta-teera, the camisk, the collar, the bracelets, the shackles, the chain, and such, not manifest the slave? Everything exhibits the slave, for she is a slave. Some modalities may be as simple as the exposition cage in which girls may be displayed prior to being brought to the block, or as subtle as the skills of the auctioneer presenting merchandise for the interest of possible buyers. What of slave shelves, public cages, sales racks, sales wagons, exhibition poles, and such? Is not any slave in a coffle or on a rope exhibited? What of leashed slaves on promenade? What of those chained to the throne of a Ubar? Is not any girl fastened to a public slave ring exhibited? What of the girl ordered to assume "examination position," standing, legs widely spread, hands held behind the back of her head or neck? What of a girl being put through slave paces, or being danced in a tavern, or war camp? What of the slaves kneeling about the steps of a public building, or below a public platform, on which an ambassador is being ceremonially welcomed, some of whom may have been taken from his own city? What of the slaves ordered into the streets in their briefest and most colorful tunics when visitors of note are in the city? Is this not a display of a city's taste and wealth, and a suggestion of the prowess of her men at arms? What had Tajima meant? It seemed he might have meant anything. It seemed there must be an infinite number of modalities of slave exhibition. What is the last natural number? Certainly any slave must expect to be exhibited, for she is a slave. Tajima cut, and sharpened, four stakes, each of which he notched at the blunt end. - (Rebels of Gor, Chapter )
