"A Swiss taxidermy expert brought 'her' to life, recreating the 'virgin' warrior's looks from facial bones, and some observers commented on her distinctly masculine appearance."

No one has made the obvious suggestion. Since this was the same period of the golden age of Greece, when older men had young proteges for companionship and sexual needs, including when going off to war, it is reasonable to conclude that this was the young lover of the older man. Now off to read SC’s link about the the executed female warrior.
