Wyswyr — hands on hips. A display command.
Notes
Feet apart, hands on the hips, shoulders square, chin level, weight even. It takes up space rather than presenting, which is the whole of its use.
Called for where the buyer wants build and capability rather than allure: a male slave, a laborer, a woman being sold to run a household. A companion is rarely asked for it and it does her no favors when she is.
