Altered Hannya

Jewel made entirely by hand by the Italian craftsman Gianmarco Fontana. 
This ring made of 925 Silver depicting a Hannya is part of the "Japanized" collection.

Hannya is a popular Japanese mask used in nō theater, which represents a jealous female demon. The most popular drama in which the Han'nya mask was used, featuring two large sharp horns, two dazzling eyes and a grinning mouth, is the Dojoji, inspired by the famous story of Anchin and Kiyohime.

This mask is used to represent a woman so jealous that she has turned into a demon.
