Original Note:
The item on the left is a slave iron bit, a gag allegedly used to punish slaves and prevent speech. The item on the right is a spit hood, used to prevent inmates from spitting on others. Inmates can still speak, etc., and nothing enters their mouths. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slave_iron_bit https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spit_hood
