Herrstein, Germany

Medieval Village Pillory
Petty crimes were punished at the pillory in the village.
It was used to publicly humiliate. Even though it was meant as a mild form of punishment,
the crowd sometimes made it lethal.

Interesting find. Another reason why I am thankful that I wasn't born in that time period.

A grim reminder, but well captured. I like the texture on the wall as well. V.
