A ring-handled tonsillotome — the "tonsil guillotine" that captured the tonsil in a fenestrated ring and sheared it away with a sliding blade in a single stroke, a procedure performed in seconds and often without anesthesia. Among the most notorious and sought-after instruments of Victorian surgery. Shown from several angles.
