Description
The iron maiden is a fictional iron cabinet torture device with a hinged front and spike-covered interior to enclose a human being. Wolfgang Schild, a professor of criminal law and criminal law history at the University of Bielefeld, has argued that putative iron maidens were pieced together from artifacts found in museums to create spectacular objects intended for exhibition. The 17th century iron maidens may have been constructed as probable misinterpretation of a medieval Schandmantel (coat of shame or barrel of shame), which was made of wood and metal but without spikes.
