Original Note:
There is no such thing as an ‘inquisition mask’. As with all supposed ‘medieval torture devices’, this mask is likely a modern fake. https://www.medievalists.net/2016/03/why-medieval-torture-devices-are-not-medieval/ The museum at which the mask is exhibited has many other fake devices on display, such as Iron Maidens and Pears of Anguish. https://www.tripadvisor.co.uk/LocationPhotoDirectLink-g187430-d2691750-i155471706-Galeria_de_la_Inquisicion_Europa_Siglos_XIII_al_XIX-Cordoba_Province_of_.html https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iron_maiden https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pear_of_anguish
