We originally intended for this to be a Halloween Squishable, but, well, here we are. When we posted our 7" version of this dude, the amount of traffic crashed our site. Then we spent 2 days fixing the site. Then you ordered a LOT of them. Then our site crashed again. Thank you! Unexpected! We launched the Squishable Plague Doctor too! Anyway...here's a micro version! A full handful of well-timed spookiness.
Here's the description!
Medieval plague doctors thought the smelly herbs and flowers they stuffed in their masks would keep them healthy. They didn't. But their impenetrable (and spooky!) leather outfits actually did! That coat was like the hazmat suit of their day. Today we have soap, so unless you particularly like wearing a lot of leather, maybe just wash your hands instead. Actually, wash your hands either way. Now wash them again. Please be aware, there may be some variation in the glow-in-the-dark color of the lantern! This micro also features a new fancy metal clip!
The International Museum of Surgical Science, a division of the International College of Surgeons (ICS), maintains over 10,000 square feet of public galleries committed to the history of surgery, and an exquisite permanent collection of art and artifacts from the history of Medicine. The Museum supports its Mission through medically themed exhibitions and programs, in addition to a strong contemporary art exhibition program.
