Leather whips and scourges
When it is said "whip", surely you will imagine the atmosphere of the Wild West: hot, chapped soil, dusty roads and sound of cracking the whip. Yes, a cowboy is running his cattle somewhere. Whips were used already in the Neolithic. They served for hunting and cattle breeding. And they are still used to control cattle.
The leather whips were used not only to control the cattle, but also people in ancient times. Slaves were forced to work faster and more efficiently using them. They also became the tools of punishment and torture. And this horrifying custom was also used in the Middle Ages, of course.
The leather whip sometimes was used as an instrument with magical powers. People chased the clouds, rain and other adverse weather conditions away using them.
The leather scourge has a little other utilization. It is designed specifically for beating people. Scourge looks like a whip, but a whip composed of several strands.
