S'Acabbadòra was a female figure, usually an elderly woman, present in practically every village in Sardinia and of whom there are direct testimonies up to the late 19th century. She was the one who gave death, thus ending the agony of the sick.
She acted on commission and, called by a family, went to the house in question where she was left alone in a room with the dying person.
Here she would follow a fairly straightforward ritual and finally, having extracted sa mazzòca, a solid wooden hammer, she would strike a sharp blow to a precise point on the skull of the sufferer, who quickly died of head trauma.
