Description

Reich geschweifte scharniergelagerte Halsfessel für zwei Personen aus Weichholz mit eisernen Beschlägen. Einseitig Öse zum Anbringen eines Hangschlosses, anhängend Kette zum Fixieren am Pranger. Länge 93 cm. Die doppelseitige Version der Schandgeige wurde gerne zur Bestrafung zankender Weiber verwendet. Die beiden Delinquentinnen wurden solange gemeinsam an den Pranger gefesselt, bis sie Frieden schlossen. Zur Belustigung des Publikums wurde hier nur jeweils eine Hand fixiert, um körperliche Auseinandersetzungen weiterhin möglich zu machen.

Provenance: Ehemals Bestandteil der permanenten Folterausstellung im Rosso d'oro in Brixen.

Condition: II - Questions about the lot?
