"The Punishment of the Wooden Collar: Plate 13" is a specific illustration from the series "The Punishments of China", created by Major George Henry Mason. Published in 1801, the collection provides a unique insight into Chinese justice during the late 18th and early 19th centuries, with particular on their criminal punishment methods.

As the 13th plate in the series, "The Punishment of the Wooden Collar" depicts a unique form of punitive action widely used in China at that time. The Plate illustrates a person in a cangue, a large wooden collar placed as a form of public humiliation and punishment. The person is confined to the bulky structure which restricts movement and prevents the wearer from eating and sleeping comfortably. The object, despite its seemingly simple structure, was a powerful tool for social control.

George Henry Mason was a major in the British Army who had significant contact with Chinese culture and developed an interest in it. He sought to document and publicize China's exotic and distinct penal system, which was a reflection of its societal order. His works, including "The Punishment of the Wooden Collar: Plate 13" remain a valuable visual reference for scholars of Chinese legal history, criminology, and social customs.
