Sadly based on a Religious anointing tool, The ''Lead Sprinkler'' was a metal gravity activated device. Originally used to apply Holy Water or Oil, this device was filled with molten lead. Small openings located on the bottom would allow the lead to spill out. When "hit" by the liquid lead (resulting from a shaking action), the substance would strike the skin, cause extreme burns and pain. The Lead Sprinkler was designed to inflict pain and not cause death.
