Description
The good doctor wore his Bird Beak Mask for each one of his Bubonic Plague patients! He thought he could spare himself from the plague by wearing his special Bird Beak containing dried flowers (like roses and carnations), herbs (like lavender and peppermint), camphor, or a vinegar sponge, as well as juniper berry, ambergris, cloves, labdanum, myrrh, and storax. The purpose of the mask was to keep away bad smells, known as miasma, which were thought to be the principal cause of the disease. The doctor believed the herbs would counter the "evil" smells of the plague and prevent him from becoming infected, as he worked and slaved to try and save his patients from the plague. Unfortunately, it wasn’t enough. He wore the mask so much it slowly became part of his face and as the plague grew stronger the infection took over his flesh rotting away at his ever gruesome beak, his body and soul.
Mask comes with elastic strap.
