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 lightweight deluxe Plague Doctor Mask with goggles is perfect for Steampunk looks, Halloween, rallies, theatrical productions, Plague Doctor Executioners and more. The mask has a buckle and strap that goes around the back of the head. One size fits most Teens and Adults. Spot clean. The hat is not included. Other plague doctor, steampunk and Victorian costumes and accessories (hats, gloves, canes, wigs, jewelry, theatrical makeup, gear accessories...) are sold separately on our page – subject to availability.
