Exclusive Carnival Venetian mask "Plague Doctor" collection "NOTTE"

Classic Venetian Plague Doctor mask with beak nose. It has a very interesting history and was created as in Venice for purely practical reasons. The birth of such a mask was necessary in the period of the 14th century, when plague epidemics raged in Europe, obliterating entire cities. The whole face is completely covered by a mask, with a huge, long, empty nose - a beak, inside which various substances were placed: dry flowers, lavender, thyme, myrrh, ambergris, mint leaves, camphor, cloves and sponges soaked in vinegar. Glass covered the eye slits, and slits covered with gauze were made along the nose for air ventilation. Yes, the Plague Doctor's mask is a kind of prototype of a modern gas mask. This mask served as protection for doctors from the animalistic odors of decaying bodies affected by the plague. As a useful accessory for examining patients, doctors used a stick. The one-piece costume of Dr. Plague consists of: a long black cloak that covers the ankles, with a cape on the head, a pair of black gloves, a pair of black shoes, a cane, a hat, and the actual mask of Dr. Plague.
