One of the most macabre & sinister-looking masks around the world is the centuries-old ‘Plague Doctor’ or ‘Medico Della Peste’ mask. The grotesque mask is a prominent feature at the famous Venice Carnival, worn at elaborate masquerade balls, and is associated with II Medico Della Peste. The bubonic plague, also known as the ‘The Black Death,’ swept through Europe in the mid-1300s. It was believed people fell sick due to the inhalation of foul-smelling air. Plague doctors wore a face covering that featured a long, hollow, curved, bird-like beak that everyone found most chilling. This beak was stuffed with dried aromatic herbs & spices to counteract the noxious air. This 3D silver ring features a nod to the famous Plague Doctor, with its signature long pointy bird beak mask & hat. The studs and knobs along the goggles & stitched pattern on the beak add a cool steampunk/industrial vibe! Great for Halloween/cosplay/LARP or every day edgy/gothic wear! Unisex — women or men.
