Zunnar

Zunnar (also spelled "zunar" or "zonar"; Arabic: زنار zunār) was a distinctive belt or girdle, part of the clothing that Dhimmi (e.g. Jews, Christians and Zoroastrians) were required to wear during the Middle Ages in regions under Islamic rule. Though not always enforced, the zunnar served as a tool to distinguish the dhimmi from Muslims and, together with a set of other rules, of discrimination.
