Torture Device? It Depends on Your Point of View
Hello faithful readers of the mystery artifact blog. At first glance you might be wondering “why is the Museum of the Grand Prairie taking in medieval torture devices?” However, I assure you that this device causes little actual physical harm to the user and in fact is beneficial to them in the long run.
Even crazier still you could probably go to a local store and find one without even a background check. This metal ring is approximately 2.5 inches in diameter with metal spikes protruding from it. The spikes' lengths are around 1.5-2.5 inches in length and a centimeter or two in circumference. The spikes are positioned so that they are facing up and out.
Let us know what your guesses are in the comments section, and stay tuned for the big reveal!
