Doesn't look like a head clamp to me. They are not usually light
colored. Every original I have seen and most repros are either black or
green. The ends are shaped sort of like spoons, less elaborate than those
seem. I also wouldn't expect to see it placed so high, but then she is
wearing that veil.
That being said, it does seem to have an equal on the other side,
which it would if it is a clamp or brace.
The head braces do occasionally show up in pictures. Still, having
used them, these famous head clamps have really bad reputations but they are
not deserved. They don't lock you head in place but rather let you know if
you are moving.

I must say, the close-up Beteena provided makes the mystery artifact
(the light colored, horizontal whats-it) at her left temple look even
more like a photographer's head-clamp than I thought originally!
As for her eyes not being completely even, well, lots of people have
uneven eyes or very slight wall-eyes...
