Description: Although the model is the standard lingchi of a woman, the criminal's gender is unclear here. Flows of bloods , a runner passing by holding a severed head in a cage, are gloomy additions to the standard model.

    Title: Crucifixion-like lingchi (with breast tortures, mostly)
    Information: One of the most frequently reproduced model represented a convict, most of the time a woman, tyed on a pole similar to the Christian cross, and having his breast tortured as a preliminary to dismemberment. The model might have been provided by Christian iconography, for instance the "Martyrdom of St Agatha", who had her nipples cut by tortioners. Christian cross can also be found on crucifixion-like stranguation and decapitation. Variations include tortioners handling a kind of screen against blood pollution, and starting disembowelment instead of (or joined to?) breast wounds.
