Wheel of Punishment

Wheel of Punishment
The Wheel of Punishment, also referred to by spectators as the Torture Machine, appeared in Avatar Day on Kyoshi Island when Aang was to be punished for an act in his past life as Avatar Kyoshi. Aang (Kyoshi) was said to have killed Chin. Despite the appearance of Kyoshi's spirit explaining Chin's death and a lack of evidence to prove Aang's innocence, the accusation stood as did the prejudiced guity verdict. Aang was to be boiled in oil but promptly changed to community service by Mayor Tong at the appearance of the Rough Rhinos.

The eighth punishment is unclear as the images are somewhat crudel and without text. It appears to be of a victim holding on to a swinging rope and being lashed.

Construstion
Approximately six or seven feet high in total. An upright free spinning disc most likely made of wood that is light in weight for ease of use. A fixed pointer at the top to show the selected punishment. It is set in motion by the accused and only brought to a stop by natural forces (friction). Crude images alone on the face of the disc are used to depict the forms of punishment to be meted out.

Uses
Punishment of the guilty while incorporating a form entertainment and serving as a deterrent.
