MMH5.5 - Heroes of Might and Magic 5.5

Hello everyone, I have a question: I found a Hideous Mask, a cursed artifact that gives -2 morale if not worn, and -1 morale if worn. You can sell it, but it costs 6666 gold. What should I do with this thing (besides equipping it on some scout)? Or is it just an artifact for particularly unlucky players?
