A person is placed above a pyramid shaped
seat, hands bound, and legs tied so that they were apart. Well, sitting
on a pyramid shaped chair would be no picnic on it’s own, but things get worse.
The “sitting duck” (not nice at all) would be
gradually lowered, allowing the sharp and often oiled point of the pyramid to
pierce the anus or the vagina. If a swift albeit excruciating death was
the desired result, weight would be added to the legs, causing the body to drop
rapidly, impaling the victim. If the chair was meant to be used as a
means of extracting information or confession, the person would be raised and
lowered repeatedly, and sometimes left hovering over the device overnight, only
to be subjected to further impaling the next day.
The Judas Cradle was never washed, so even if
the victim escaped death by pyramid, they would likely succumb to infection
after the traumatic event.
