HAHA yes, I was just there a few days ago trying to track down examples of historical garments to compare the outlines, see if anything rang a bell to the illustrated version.
Yeah, we have a huge thing about eyes, as humans. I can't think of a culture that doesn't have superstitions, images, and whatnot related to eyes. Though the purpose shifts -- from the Greek "evil eye" (use of, or protection against) to the Buddha's "third eye" (mystical powers, etc)... but still, always the eyes have it, eh.
