Plague Mask Hats
Description: Bubonic Plague was one of the darkest points in human history and a very fascinating subject. One of my favorite (weird to say regards to the topic) aspects were the plague doctor masks. The reason for the long "beak" was to put scented objects to help combat the smell of death in the places they had to frequent.
Description: It's another Tarot inspired design, this time it's a fake The Doctor card. It shows the plague doctor who treated victims of the bubonic plague. In the 17th, 18th, and 19th centuries, some doctors wore a beak-like mask which was filled with aromatic items. The masks were designed to protect them from putrid air, which (according to the miasmatic theory of disease) was seen as the cause of infection. I gave it the numer 911, because that's the number you're gonna call when in a need for a doctor, isn't it? :)
