This is a reconstuction of the original wooden horse that should have standed here. The reconstruction was made in 1988. The punished were placed upon the horses' back, and then weights were added to their legs. This should have been very unconfortable and a very humaliating experience.
Type of Device: Punishment device

What is the approximate age?: 01/01/1988
