1 Ressource_Provider: Jérôme Bourgon 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.
