Antique 19th-Century Portrait Photograph

Antique 19th-century portrait photograph, likely a tintype or daguerreotype, presented in a decorative miniature case. The oval portrait is framed by a detailed, ornate gilded metal mat. The case displays significant wear and patina consistent with age. A hoop attachment suggests it was worn as a pendant necklace, adding to its historical significance as both a keepsake and wearable memento.
