Pablo Picasso's Fascinating Weapon Usage

Can You Endure The Spanish Donkey

At first glance, the so-called Spanish Donkey may not seem menacing. But take a closer look. 

It was shaped like a pommel horse in gymnastics, but with a pointed triangular edge facing upwards. This device’s shape ensured that its victims received a gruesomely agonizing experience. 






The offender would be stripped of all of their clothes and then made to straddle what was essentially a triangular piece of metal with a board placed over it to form a sawhorse-type shape. 

Often, the victim would then have restraints or weights tied to their ankles in order to make the experience even more painful. 

Depending on how long a victim was made to sit on the Spanish Donkey, they could experience anything from intense discomfort to agonizing pain to disfigurement and death.

Your package will be destroyed. Imagine never having the ability to squeeze out a few kids. Simply being an asshole could cause a man to self-mutilate themselves. Pure agony of the worst kind.
