The most copied plague doctor mask of all time
Buy This MaskCreated in 2013, The Schnabel (which gets its name from the German word meaning "beak mouth") is Tom Banwell's sixth plague doctor mask. It's a derivative design of The Krankheit Plague Doctor mask. The Schnabel is identical to The Krankheit, except the beak has been elongated. The eyepieces are sewn in with waxed thread and the tip of the beak is hand-stitched.
The Schnabel has the distinction of being the most copied plague doctor mask of all time. A simple google image search of the words "plague doctor" will return hundreds (if not thousands) of images, fan art, and counterfeit products that are direct rip-offs of this mask's original product photo.
