Venetian Mask - Plague doctor crackle & story

£69.00

The plague doctor traditionally wore this spooky mask with a full length hooded gown, hat, gloves & spectacles in an attempt to both protect himself and to keep clamouring plague victims at a safe distance. He hoped to avoid infection and unpleasant smells by filling the enormous nose with scented and medicinal herbs. An imposing mask hand made of papier mache and painted in antiqued crakle ivory with character detail. With silk ribbons, to wear or to display.
