notes: label: Description (Brief)
content: Two ambrotypes inside one case. Case is brown, embellished with flower and vines. Two small clasps on the side hold it close. Inside on the left, portrait of a bearded man, seated with elbow resting on the back of a chair or couch, his hands on his lap. On the right side, a woman with ribbons in her hair. She is also sitting down resting her elbow on the back of a chair or couch, holding her hands together. Both images have been hand-colored to make the cheeks rosy. The broach and ring the woman wears have been painted gold. A golden orange metal mat frames the pictures inside an oval.
