Brank Reproduction England 13 inches, steel An iron mask for punishing women who harangue, badger, gossip or otherwise make themselves obnoxious to men. Used in 16th century England and Scotland, the guilty woman would have had this contraption locked over her head for an extended period of time. Humiliating and painful, the close-up shows how it fits over the nose and into the mouth. This one is a reproduction of uncertain age. The chin part has been bent in, but could be forced back to the proper shape.
