Torn off horizontally leaving a jagged edge
a term applied to the head of an animal or other bearing having the appearance of being forcibly torn off, leaving jagged or uneven ends. Erased is the opposite of couped, the latter meaning cut off even, straight.
adj. (of a limb) severed with a jagged cut.
Always used of a body part, most often a head. Erased means the part has a jagged edge where it was separated from the rest of the body, as distinct from couped which would have a smooth edge, as if cut.
