About this model

In 17th century Europe, Plague Doctors were hired to help Black Death plague victims. The bird-like beak of the mask was filled with herbs and spices to fight the smell of plague victims and corpses, and to protect the doctor from the disease (without much success). My version of the Doctor is more inspired by the popular culture, modern costumer makers and Steampunk than appearance of actual, historical character. See [ for more information. The Plague Doctor is modelled in Sculptris and pre-print processed in Meshmixer.
