Description A leather version of the Plague Doctor Mask featuring hand stitched leather beak and red lensed goggles. The mask has two respirator ports on the underside of the beak to help filter out all of that air tainted with the black death.

The Gorget (collar) is embossed leather with brass and copper findings held fast by nickel rivets. It features a keyhole motif in the center suggesting that the wearer is locked in to such a getup, not of their own volition.

The hat is, well, a bowler hat I made a few years ago. Black fur felt. Nothing special.

A better photoshoot will come. I've just finished it this very minute and wanted to post.

I have no doubt of it! Sorta reminds me of an old wig form I have dresesd up with a top hat, wig, and long-nosed mask in my closet. Will show you sometime.

Yeah, I think that's probably when I'll be stalking around in it....more likely, tripping over stuff.
