A Cat’s Paw (also Spanish Tickler)
 |
About as large as four fingers of a man’s
hand, these devices, usually attached to a short handle, served to rip
the victim’s flesh to shreds and to strip it off the bones, in any
part: face, abdomen, back, limbs, breasts Information and photographs in this virtual exhibition proceed from the book Torture instruments; a bilingual guide to the exhibition Torture Instruments form the Middle Ages to the Industrial Era presented in various cities in the world in 1983-2000. |
