Venetian Plague Doctor Mask

The Venetian Plague Doctor Mask is a faithful reproduction of 17th-century medical costumes used during the plague. This long-beaked mask covers the entire face, made from high-quality vegetable-tanned leather with a dark brown finish. The beak is hollow with small air holes on the sides for breathing, and inside you can place scented herbs (not included) as was tradition. The eye lenses are clear acrylic, providing good visibility. The mask is held by adjustable leather straps with brass buckles. It is unlined but has soft leather against the skin. This mask is perfect for historical reenactments, steampunk events, or unique masquerade parties. The beak length is 12 cm. The mask weighs 250 grams. It comes with a cotton dust bag. Because it’s real leather, avoid moisture and condition occasionally with leather balm. This mask is also used by some modern performers. It fits most adults with a head circumference up to 60 cm. The beak does not obstruct peripheral vision significantly. For a full plague doctor ensemble, we also sell a wide-brimmed hat and a cloak (sold separately).
