Original tintype photo - sad looking woman holding a handkerchief in one hand, and a small object - looks like another tintype, in her other hand. I don't believe the white object in her lap is part of her clothing - it does not match her dress in any way. I think it is mostly likely an object belonging to the person in the photo she is holding - perhaps a child's / baby's blanket?
Her rings, earring, and brooch are hand-colored gold.
About 3.5" x 2.75"; Very good or excellent antique condition. No bends.
