This unique plaque doctor's figurine magically draws your attention to its unusual appearance. You just can't keep your eyes off of it! Without a doubt, it is the most unique gift you will find anywhere. The plague was once the most feared disease in the world, capable of wiping out hundreds of millions of people in seemingly unstoppable global pandemics. Can you draw parallels?! This figurine is a symbolic belief in cure.
A plague doctor was a physician who treated victims of the bubonic plague during epidemics. These physicians were hired by cities to treat infected patients regardless of income. They had a mixed reputation because some plague doctors were said to charge patients and their families additional fees for special treatments or false cures. In many cases these "doctors" were not experienced physicians or surgeons; instead, being volunteers, second-rate doctors, or young doctors just starting a career.
During the 17th-century European plague, physicians wore beaked masks, leather gloves, and long coats in an attempt to fend off the disease. People believed these outfits could purify poisonous air.
Give this unique doctor's sculpture as a gift or get it for yourself, I can assure you it will become a center of attention and a subject of long and philosophical conversations.
