What does Pinwheel drop?

Pinwheel, a surprisingly weak boss in Dark Souls, drops a Rite of Kindling, which allows players to kindle a bonfire to get more Estus Flasks, as well as one of three possible masks: the Mask of the Child, Mask of the Mother, or Mask of the Father. The drop of these items, especially the Rite of Kindling, is significant as it enables players to increase their Estus Flask count, which is incredibly useful for the more challenging areas that follow in the game.
