Oneran Cartwheel

by Public Domain

The Oneran Cartwheel is a cruel form of torture in which the sentenced is hoisted on a cartwheel that is balanced upon a pole. The doomed has their head strapped to the pointed end of the pole and their hands manacled to the spokes of the wheel while seated.
In this position, the wheel is unbalanced and requires adjusting the weight to insure the head is not impaled on the pole. Eventually, exhaustion sets in and the sufferer dies a slow and cruel death as the pole is driven up through their jawbone and skull.
