Adult Plague Doctor Costume Mask

The Black Plague, also known as the bubonic plague and the black death, was one of the most devastating events in western history. During this time doctors attempting to treat the plague would wear masks featuring long conical front pieces that they would fill with flower petals and herbs, as it was believed that foul odors were the cause of the black plague. Although they were there to help and heal people, the frightful appearance of the doctors trying to treat the black death would make their look synonymous with the horrors of the time and especially make the Plague Doctor an icon of fear and death. If this is the look you seek, then this Plague Doctor mask is for you. The eyelets are covered by a translucent plastic which gives plenty of visibility while still obscuring the eye for a creepy effect. Pair the Plague Doctor mask with any of our top hats and coats or cloaks for a complete do-it-yourself plague doctor look.
