Plague Doctor Hair Stick
Inspired by the enigmatic figure of the plague doctor
A walk through the art;
At the heart of this hair sword lies the iconic plague doctor figure, complete with the distinctive bird-like mask and cloak that became synonymous with resilience during the darkest days of the Black Death. These courageous physicians not only tended to the sick but also implemented quarantine measures and fought to contain the spread of disease. The mask, filled with aromatic herbs, was believed to ward off the "miasma" carrying illness, symbolizing their relentless commitment to healing and protection.
Intertwined with this historical figure is the Caduceus, an ancient Greek symbol of healing, commerce, and travel. With its staff entwined by two serpents and topped by wings, the Caduceus serves as a timeless emblem of medical professions and the enduring pursuit of wellness. Its presence on this hair stick adds a layer of profound meaning, blending history and mythology into a single, powerful design.
Materials: Steel and zinc alloy, nickel and lead-free
Dimensions: Approx. 6.5 inches long
Uses: while it is designed to be a hair-stick, hair-sword, or hair-dagger, it can also be used as an athame, altar decor, letter opener, bookmark, decor for a potted plant, a prop for an art doll, or tucked into a belt, thigh garter, or hat band. I'm sure there are even more ways to slay.
