Anna is pilloried

The authorities put Anna in the pillory, beat her with rods, and banished her from Augsburg.
Image DescriptionNavigate
Anna, identified by her black hair and red dress, stands on a wooden scaffold and has her head and hands locked in a pillory. A lightly armored man behinds her swings a rod with frayed ends toward Anna’s back. Behind them, a grey brick city wall has a window, from which a grimacing woman watches the punishment. A crowd of townsfolk gathers on the street in front of the scaffold. One onlooker holds a piece of red fruit aloft in the air as though he is about to throw it at Anna.Next Image ►
