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 such as camphor oil, mint, laudanum, cloves, & myrrh to counteract the noxious air. These black & white wooden earrings feature a nod to the famous Plague Doctor, with its signature long bird beak mask & hat. On removable gold wire hoops.
