The Hannya Demon Ring is a sterling silver ring carrying the Hannya demon mask, the horned face of Japanese folklore worn by a woman remade by jealousy and rage. The carving builds the face in layers, brow pushed forward over the eyes and the jaw dropped open beneath it.Nothing in the face is softened, and that is the point of wearing it: a mask made of rage is turned outward so that it meets trouble first. The Hannya is kept as a guard against ill will rather than as a portrait of it, carried here as a symbol rather than a religious piece.
