content: DEVIL DANCE MASK - DEMALA SANNI, "HALLUCINATIONS, BAD DREAMS AND SIMILAR MENTAL DISTURBANCES". BLACK AND GRAY FACE WITH PAINFUL EXPRESSION. WHITE EYES (NO PUPILS). OPEN MOUTH, RED LIPS AND SIX WHITE TEETH. SEVERAL OTHER TEETH MISSING. A HOLE ON LEFT SIDE OF HEAD, TOP OF HEAD, AND ONE UNDER CHIN. ACCORDING TO THE DONOR, "THIS MASK'S EYES INDICATE IT COULD BE USED AS KANA (BLINDNESS) SANNI AS WELL, THOUGH IT IS POSSIBLE THAT THE PUPILS HAVE JUST FADED, THE MASK BEING VERY OLD."
