Description

Aquí, en el Museo Nacional de Escocia, puedes ver un objeto muy extraño: un collar de ataúd o un collar para los muertos. El collar de ataúd era un collar de hierro a menudo fijado a un trozo de madera. Se fijaba alrededor del cuello de un cadáver y luego se atornillaba al fondo de un ataúd. Los informes más comunes sobre el uso de estos collares provenían de Escocia en torno a la década de 1820. Estos collares se fabricaban para frustrar a los ladrones de tumbas. Los ladrones de tumbas eran estudiantes de anatomía humana. Legalmente, solo se podían usar los cuerpos de criminales ejecutados para estudiar anatomía. Pero la demanda era mayor que la oferta.
