Five Banding

www.seekdiscipline.com
The practice of five banding, or saying that a slave is five banded, involves wearing locked restraints on the neck and all four limbs - for example, a collar, bracelets and anklets - and signifies the complete subjugation of the slave.
The term was popularised by Sharon Green's Terrillian Warrior series of books. For example, near the start of "The Warrior Challenged":
Sharon Green wrote:
I looked down at the bronze bands on my wrists and ankles, feeling the one around my neck even if I couldn't see it, knowing they were all beyond a woman's strength to open. The light, small-linked chains marked me as Tammad's property, his beyond argument or offer. I hated being locked in chain; to me it was a measure of things on that world that being five-banded was the highest distinction a woman could achieve.
The Gorean siriks described by John Norman can be thought of as five-banding cuffs linked by chain.

sirik:
An arrangement of chains used to display a slavegirl rather than confine her; it consists of a collar, to which about five feet of chain is attached; part-way down the chain is a pair of manacles, and the chain terminates in a set of shackles. [2]

A 'chain dress' of sorts...made of looping chains from the collar to wrist and ankle rings. The chain is usually light and shiny. "… it consists of a Turian-type collar, a loose, rounded circle of steel, to which a light, gleaming chain is attached; should the girl stand,the chain, dangling from her collar, falls to the floor; it is about ten or twelve inches longer than is required to reach from her collar to her ankles; to this chain,at the natural fall of her wrists, is attached a pair of slave bracelets; at the end of the chain there is attached another device, a set of linked ankle rings, which,when closed about her ankles,lifts a portion of the slack chain from the floor; the Sirik is an incredibly graceful thing and designed to enhance the beauty of its wearer; perhaps it should only be added that the slave bracelets and the ankle rings may be removed from the chain and used separately; this also, of course, permits the Sirik to function as a slave leash.” ~~Nomads of Gor, pg42 [4]
