    Yes I named it Anna's Execution after the last woman who where executed for witchcraft in Switzerland, Anna Göldin, she was executed by decapitation, and after all most of the time for executions they did not use a sword or a fancy war axe they use a woodman's axe similar to the one the hair stick depicts.

    Here is a bit more information on Anna:

    Thank you for those links, that's an interesting story, particularly how she was exonerated two centuries later. Wow.

    Yes, justice came way to late, but at least it came eventually. I want to get this movie but it is all in German and they are not big on subtitles and I am not sure my German is good enough to follow it.
