RavenAus Report post Posted June 19, 2014 Hand stitched with artificial sinew, this is the first of the new Plague Doctor masks. A huge upgrade to our original half-mask, this covers the entire face and has stitched and riveted lenses covering the eye sockets. Plague Doctor masks were worn in Medieval Europe by doctors who would place a pomander of fresh scented herbs and spices in the beak. The beliefs of the time were that disease spread through 'foul humours' - airborne contaminants - and that covering the face and breathing in the fresh herbs would prevent them from catching the plague. Unfortunately, though inevitably, many such doctors succumbed to the plagues they were attempting to treat. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

electrathon Report post Posted June 20, 2014 I really like it, except for the rivets. I like the way the stitches look along the beak and feel it would look great around the eyes too. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
