This Plague Doctor mask is designed in the shape of the historic Plague Doctor mask.
Plague doctors throughout Europe often wore masks like these, as the hooked beak was supposed to symbolise a raven. Between the 14th and 17th centuries, ravens were considered to be holy birds. The idea was to ward off plague-causing "miasmas" (bad smells) sent by God to punish the population for its sins.
While it won’t protect you from disease, it is perfect for Halloween costumes, masquerade parties and dressing up.
