ART EXPLOSION WEEK 46: Theme MASKS [Bubonic Plague Steampunk Mask] entry
The bubonic plague mask in Steampunk style twist. The gears and bolts compliment the leather and texturized inner lining. The metallic mechanisms and the lenses is an adittion to break the roundness and symmetry in the mask. This mask is not a perfect resemblance of the masks used during the bubonic plague period because of the steampunk variant add it to it. The reason of wearing this bird beak like masks was to prevent getting infected because they thought the disease was airbone.
The bubonic plague or black death pandemic swept through Europe killing millions. This pandemic hit between 1347 and 1351 and its cataloged one of the most devastating pandemics in history. Rats carry the bacteria and the fleas on them spread it to humans, that at that time were living in poor conditions, surrounded by animals of all sorts.

I am reminded of this character whenever I see a reference with the Bubonic Plague or the mask. Cool steampunk inspired mask, the contraptions attached and gears fit the mask well.
