This is the Medieval Hanging Cage. [Coffin Torture]
The Coffin Torture was feared in the Middle Ages, and is often seen in films depicting the time (see Monty Pythono s Holy Grail). The victim was placed inside a metal cage roughly made in the shape of the human body. Torturers could force overweight victims into a smaller device, or even make the "coffin" slightly larger than a victimo s body to make him more uncomfortable. The cage was frequently hung from a tree or a gallows.
Serious crimes, such as heresy or blasphemy, were punished by death inside the coffin where the victim was placed under the sun allowing birds or animals to eat his or her flesh. Sometimes onlookers would throw rocks and other objects to further increase the pain.
I'm starting my Torture and Punishment project, read below to see what I'll be making, and feel free to make requests for things I can add to this bundle.
