Description
A bead doll of a plague doctor designed in the style of the Philadelphia pride flag, inspired by yrsina-pests on Tumblr's Plague Doctor designs. They wear a black top hat with a brown stripe running through the top of it. Their head is yellow, with red eyes and an orange beak, while their outfit is a singular piece. The top of the shirt is pale green, then the rest of the outfit is dark green, aqua, pale blue, dark blue, sparkly purple, purple, and black with a pink stripe. One of their arms extends forward slightly; their head tilts to one side, the weight of the top hat tilting it backwards.
