The Plague Doctor - Hurumanu - Social Studies

For Social Studies, I studied about the Plague Doctor that cures the plague back in the medieval days.
Once I finished it, the task I had to do is to draw the plague doctor, its attire/gear and equipment.
This is my drawing

White Hat - Back in the medieval times, such a hat identified someone as a doctor

Scalpel - For opening the "buboes"

Leather Gloves - Protecting hands from the bacteria when touching the patient

Garlic - For prevention, the doctor chewed garlic constantly

Cloak - Body protection from fleas 

Primitive Mask - Protection from the spoiled air, it's filled with fragrant medicinal herbs to protect from the stench which could also carry the plague. An eye mask of red glasses to make the doctor immune to the disease. It is shaped like a bird because people believed it would repel the plague from a sick person.

The Pomander - On the neck is a casket for aromatic herbs and substances which scare off the plague

Fishermen's Wandering - Dressed under a raincoat to protect the legs and the groin from infection

Cane - For examining the patients without needing to touch them
