The middle of f82r as death or resurrection

[Koen G]

Hi Anton, quite the coincidence, I've considered making a thread about this figure (or group) as well recently. While I have strong opinions about many folios in Q13A, I'm still rather puzzled about this one.

For starter's I'll focus on the dead figure in isolation. I say dead with some confidence because I agree that this is by far the most likely reading. 
There is something really weird about the face if you compare it to other nymphs. The jaw line is more defined and behaves differently. In the image below, I've put it next to the three nymphs closest to her.

   

Another thing is of course the eyes. They do appear closed, but there's more going on. One of the other nymphs also appears to have her eyes closed, yet those look different. 
When I first saw this face, it reminded me of a scene from Game of Thrones (sorry) where fake eyes had been placed on those of the deceased.

This lead me to the next logical step: might the face actually be some kind of death mask? I know these were used in antiquity and from the Renaissance on, but I'm less informed about the situation in the middle ages. Of course there were funerary effigies.

A final remark is that a pattern is present under the green paint. This is reminiscent of a funeral shroud or some kind of wrapping, as would have been common in many periods in history.

Edit: I should probably say funerary mask or something similar since death masks are casts made of a deceased's face while I'm more thinking along the lines of a sculpted likeness placed on top of the body.
