Historically, Plague Doctors were brave physicians of the 17th Century in Europe, who were employed by nearby towns and cities to administer to people suffering the pangs of the Black Death. They saw so much of the bubonic plague that they needed to protect themselves from the germs and the stench of death. This lead to a lot of creative masks that were so hauntingly ornate that we still remember their look to this very day. That’s part of what makes this Plague Doctor mask with goggles a great fit for just about any costume event or cosplay gathering. This mask takes the original mask of one who administered to the sick or dying and reimagines it with haunting detail. The more you look at it, the more fine detail and elegant design you will find. At the same time, it also speaks to the Steampunk genre with its rivets, grommets, goggles and the way metal elements are bonded confidently to faux leather. It also shows the ghostly side of Plague Doctor Executioners. This lightweight deluxe mask is perfect for Steampunk events, Halloween, rallies, theatrical productions and more. The mask has a buckle and strap that goes around the back of the head. One size fits most adults and teens. The hat is not included. Other plague doctor, steampunk and Victorian costumes and accessories (hats, gloves, spats, canes and other props, theatrical makeup, gear accessories...) are sold separately on our page – subject to availability. Spot clean.
