A couple questions:

Why was she interred on her side? This is unusual in most cultures.

How did they conclude she was white?

Why is the eye so outsized? Was it intended just for burial?

[worst-case scenario]

It was sewn into the soft tissues of the socket with a golden thread.. There would have been no reason to do this post mortem.

[worst-case scenario]

Thanks for that link. It’s quite explanatory. The image of the reconstructed face is lovely.

I'd stone it!

I imagine having gold veins in her eye would have caught my eye too.
