I believe 'Jimminy' is a variant of 'Djimini'. The Djimini are a
sub-group of the Senoufo group of Côte d'Ivoire, Mali, and Burkina
Faso. Alternate spellings include Jimini, Jinmini, and Dyimini.

Here you can find information about the Djimini people:

Ethnologue: SENOUFO, DJIMINI: a language of Côte d?Ivoire

Here is an example of a Djimini mask:

I hope this is helpful. If anything is unclear or incomplete, please
request clarification; I'll be glad to offer further assistance before
