A medieval device against female chatter - Scold's bridle.
Scold's bridle is an item invented in the 1500s in Britain and then spread throughout Europe. An iron mask, tightly fitting the head, was worn on women as punishment for rude chatter and arguments. It was impossible to talk in it. A bell was attached on top to attract attention.
