		In Puabi’s case, not only was the seal located in the immediate vicinity where her body lay, but it also was found in conjunction with several pins which indicate that it was the seal that Puabi actually wore, as opposed to the others which were posthumously placed within her tomb.
		Puabi was definitely a key figure in the society in which she lived, and the consistent iconography found in her tomb leads me to believe that her status was not an isolated circumstance; instead, it appears to be a permanent office that she held.
		Puabi’s context within her tomb, and the greater cultural context in which women participated in the city-state’s economic and political spheres, all display strong connections between the temple and women.

		Queen Puabi and her attendants were buried adorned for the ages with luxurious stone, gold and silver necklaces, earrings, crowns and belts.
		In death, Puabi was arrayed in a flamboyant headdress of gold wreaths, hair rings, ribbons and an extraordinary gold comb that rose above her head bearing seven golden rosettes - the ensemble is so big that archeologists theorize she would have had to wear a bulky wig to accommodate it.
		Puabi was surrounded in the moments after her interment with a retinue of walkers and maids all decked out in finery of comparable luxury, playing gold-embellished lyres, singing, reciting verse until the fateful moment when they drank poison out of a small ceramic vessel.

		Puabi rose early to complete the day’s special ceremonies that only she, as Chief Priestess of Inanna had the right and responsibility to perform.
		Face to face with the implacable Goddess, Puabi alternately raged and pleaded: raged against the terrible price demanded of her for the prosperity of her beloved city; pleaded that this time, she would not conceive and bear a child from the ceremony.
		She had wept so long for the memory of the tiny fingers curled around her own, the feel of the child that she held in her arms for a brief few minutes before the priests took the little bundle away to be smothered.

		Seven decades later in an era of female liberation, one might conjecture that Puabi perhaps was a queen in her own right and no one’s widow, particularly since her tomb was so lavishly appointed.
		Objects from Puabi’s tomb are the centerpiece of this exhibition because her tomb was untouched by grave robbers—just as Tutankhamen’s tomb was undisturbed.
		Puabi’s torso was covered with semi-precious stones which Woolley rethreaded and called a beaded cape which would have shimmered and resonated musically as she walked among her courtiers.

		Then in hopes to provide a better life for their children while Puabi was still in her teens, her family moved to Stormwind and in truth that is where she finds herself most at home.
		This decision was based on a desire to help her mate in his own personal quest along with her natural skills and her own memories of the stories her parents used to tell of how the scourge destroyed their once proud home.
