In Sir Gawain and the Green Knight, the lady of Gawain's castle offers him a silk girdle, which she claims will protect him from harm, and she also offers him a kiss. Gawain initially resists her advances but ultimately accepts the kiss and the girdle, the latter of which symbolizes his desire for self-preservation and reflects his internal struggle between knightly honor and human instinct.
