Martinet

A martinet is an obsolete term for a kind of cat o'nine tails formerly used in French schools to chastise pupils.

Still used in some French homes, and often seen on sale in hardware shops and market stalls. Most commonly a wooden handle about 250mm/10" long with a dozen or more leather bootlace type lashes 300mm- 350mm/12"-14" long. Quite stingy.
