Maybe she enjoyed games. Sometimes, I wonder if some items were not symbolic, but simply personal possessions.
True! I am a little sceptical of the symbolism idea here, at least their claim it means she was high-ranking based on this etc :)
I bet she just liked mead & gaming lol I wonder how she died? Old age or battle =/
Maybe she died of non-combat issues (food poisoning?) No one could defeat her in battle! She had no equal! \o/pic.twitter.com/L3JV9Ei8Sp
