PLAGUE MASK 10011600

PLAGUE MASK

The smell of disease is stale in the streets, but you are the plague doctor. All you smell is the fresh lemon balm and rosehips on your mask, protecting you from the lethal miasma of the dying.

The Plague Doctor's Mask is your protection against the dangers of the world's disease, shielding you much as a knight's armor protects him from a fatal attack. To everyone else, you are a symbol of knowledge and healing... but also the harbinger of death. Looking into the darkness of your mask's eyes feels like baring one's soul, so even your patients harbor fear in your presence.

DETAILS

Featuring an adjustable leather strap and two fabric ties, the Plague Doctor Mask from Epic Armoury is made to fit anyone. Made from quality full-grain natural leather and heavy-duty stitching, this is a product that can withstand the abuse of a LARP or reenactment with regular leather care. And with the colour dyed into the material, it has a particularly fine finish.

Available in brown and black. One size fits all.
