The collar is based upon the scold\'s bridal, a medieval instrument used on those who spoke against the powerful. The needle-like clasp forces the wearer to keep the chin elevated, while the mouth piece follows the surface of the tongue and delves slightly into the throat. This piece is fabricated by hand in brass and copper.
This piece includes a jewelry stand neck for display that can sit on a pedestal. The dimensions of the piece and stand is 6"x6"x14".
