1400 Plague doctor's mask

(1/6) > >>

Pat B:
Back in the day, during the black plague, plague doctors wore these masks as part of their PPE along with a floor length coat, wide brim hat and a cane(for examining patients  ??? ). The long beak on the mask was filled with lavender or other fragrant herbs to eliminate the stench of the plague and of death. They thought the plague was spread by the smell. (Google "Black Plague Doctors)
Anyway, Dylan asked me if I could make a plague doctor's mask. He got a pattern and sent it to me. These masks also had glass eye lenses. Dylan has located some old cutting torch goggle lenses he is sending me and I will add them when they got here. Anyway, here is the results...

Way to scare the crap out of little old ladies, and some old men ;D ;D
