Cauterizing iron
After the tail of draft horses has been cut with a docking iron, the wound
is burned with a cauterizing iron. To stop the bleeding, the heated iron is
pressed against the wound with the ring-shaped end for 8-10 seconds so that
it fits over the slight bulge of the tailbone. If necessary, this operation
is repeated until no more blood escapes. [MOT]

Wooden board with one or more carved figures - such as a drunkard, jester,
