For Halloween, a spooky walk, or a steampunk or medieval-themed party, put on the plague doctor mask: a black beak mask made of 100% PU faux leather that covers the entire face and ends in a long, pointed tip. The mask is suitable for women and men and is secured with an adjustable strap with a metal buckle at the back of the head.
The plague doctor mask in detail
- The protruding beak extends downwards from the bridge of the nose into a fine, serrated point.
- Two round eye holes with transparent lenses are set in a raised rim, so your vision remains unobstructed.
- Rows of shiny black studs run across the entire front, along the beak seam and in two arches across the cheeks.
- The adjustable black strap with a silver-colored buckle makes the mask suitable for various head sizes.
- The material is 100% PU, a faux leather with a matte black, slightly grained texture.
Why does a plague doctor wear a beak?
The plague doctor look dates back to the seventeenth century, when doctors wore a leather robe and a beak mask during plague epidemics. The hollow beak was filled with herbs and spices, because it was believed that infection spread through bad air. It is precisely that combination of medicine and menace that makes the image popular at horror and steampunk parties today. Are you torn between this mask and a gas mask model? The plague doctor has a historical, artisanal look with faux leather and studs, while a gas mask gives an industrial, mechanical look. If you want a classic spooky character with a story, choose this beak mask.
How to wear the plague doctor mask at a party
On a Halloween evening or during a parade, the mask looks best over dark clothing: a long black coat or cape, black gloves, and a wide-brimmed hat complete the silhouette. Because the beak protrudes far forward, you will need to keep a little more distance when talking and dancing in a crowded space. For a night out, you can take the mask off in between and let it hang around your neck with the strap without having to remove your entire outfit.
