| Bakers Chair This chair was designed for bakers who sold. If they were convicted of selling their loaves of bread too small, then it was this punishment they endures. |

| The purpose of this device is fairly obvious. The victim is made to site on the chair with the straps tightening to drive the spikes into his or her flesh. Weights could also be used as well as blows with mallets to further the damage. While quite painful, the chair itself was not always immediately fatal. However, infection and tetanus claimed many victims days or weeks after their ordeal. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||
