I can't believe those are her original eyelashes! Having read the info on this amazing mummy (and quite expecting to see something about modern-day enhancements), it seems they are original, and so is her lovely hair. In one of the photos in the links, on the site page, she reminded me very much of film actress Julia Roberts. A fascinating find and intriguing story.

Wow, this picture is unbelievable. Still very, very lifelike.
