Such a device could easily cause disfigurement and serious trauma, such as ripping pieces of flesh from the body or loss of an eye. Whips with small pieces of metal or bone at the tips were commonly used. Most famously according to the gospel accounts, this occurred prior to the crucifixion of Jesus Christ.
