Plague Doctor Mask

Plague doctor mask with long beak and white color. The leather mask is mostly riveted together with some hand-stitching. The eyepieces are sewn in with waxed thread. The mask is painted black and the lenses are gray acrylic. Paint is designed to wear off of rivets for that aged look.

The plague doctor mask is made of medium weight veg tan leather and has an adjustable strap. It comes with a series of 23 ventilation holes on the beak for ease of breathing and to help alleviate fogged lenses.

It will fit all adult heads up to 61cm / 24in around, if your head size is larger, we can customize the mask for you, without additional cost.

Our plague doctor masks are made in the best quality, so they are used in theater, performances, films, TV series, movies, shows or concerts, among others. They are also ideal for Halloween, costume parties, themed events, decoration… or just because you would love to have one!

The plague doctor mask is a distinctive and iconic piece of headgear that was historically worn by physicians during the time of the bubonic plague epidemic. The mask is characterized by a long, beak-shaped nose that was filled with aromatic herbs and spices, which the doctors believed would protect them from the deadly disease. The mask typically features large, round eye holes that are often surrounded by spectacles, which were intended to protect the doctor’s eyes from infection.

The beak of the mask is often the most prominent feature, and it was designed to hold a variety of herbs and spices, such as rose petals, myrrh, cloves, and cinnamon, which were believed to purify the air and ward off the disease. Overall, the plague doctor mask was a symbol of the desperate attempts to combat the devastating effects of the bubonic plague, and it remains a powerful and evocative image to this day.

NOTE: The price only includes the mask. Accessories is not included.
