yoli - that is really cool. i seem to remember hearing that the wearer would put fresh herbs in the snout area as they believed it helped to avoid spreading the plague. what an image that would have made: the "doctor" sitting in front of the boat, wearing this while rowing the victims out to a quarantine island off venice.
bizarre - word veri is: unded!
