The Backward Glance by Sheila Hodgson
based on an idea by M.R. James
with David March as James

"The object he handed me was made of black silk, beautifully worked. I put the period at late 18th century. Oh, and one more point about the mask... across the slits which would normally have been left open for the eyes, there had been stitched something that looked like human skin!"
