A heavy iron cage of forged bars and riveted joints, large enough to confine a man or hold dangerous animals. Town guards and jailors use iron cages to secure prisoners during transport or storage; traveling merchants carrying exotic beasts rely on sturdy cages of this size. The iron resists cutting and the design prevents escape, though the weight demands a heavy wagon or a team of oxen to move it.
