About This Item
In times of plague and epidemics, specialist doctors were hired to treat the sick, and many wore distinctive masks filled with aromatic items as protection from disease. This mask had a cone nose shaped like a beak to hold the fragrant substances and straw. This 6.75-inch high, 8-inch long, 5.75-inch wide plague doctor statue is expertly cast in resin and hand-painted in an antique bronze and metallic copper finish, showing off the amazing detail in a fantastical blending of man and machine. It's a great decorative accent to add to Steampunk collections and is a great way to memorialize 2020.
