Nesta was impaled on a stake and her head put on a spike for rebellion

Pink Ribbons
The Mistress of the Ships and her Master of the Blades had died on the stake without ever screaming, but it had not saved them.
But the Seanchan do use beheading as a means of execution
WH
An Unexpected Encounter
Beside the wide arched gate into the city, a long platform displayed, on spikes twenty feet above the ground, the tarred but still recognizable heads of over a dozen men and two women who had fallen afoul of Seanchan justice. Above them hung the symbol for that justice, a headsman's slant-edged axe with the haft wrapped in an intricately knotted white cord. A placard below each head announced the crime that had placed it there, murder or rape, robbery with violence, assault on one of the Blood. Lesser offenses brought fines or flogging, or being made da'covale. The Seanchan were evenhanded about it. None of the Blood themselves were on display—one of those who earned execution would be sent back to Seanchan, or strangled with the white cord—but three of those heads had been attached to Seanchan, and the weight of their justice fell on high as well as low. Two placards marked rebellion hung below the heads of the woman who had been Mistress of the Ships to the Atha'an Miere and her Master of the Blades.

Mesaana's more likely. There just isn't enough time for it to be the Seanchan, imo *NM*

On the other hand, we know that Egwene has to meet Seanchan yet. *NM*

In book time, she'll probably be seeing Seta (and possibly Egeanin) in a couple hours
