Striking, Painterly, Super Crisp Ninth Plate Tintype of Young Woman with Hat hand-painted wooden trinket box I believe the bird (owl)

I believe the bird (owl) at far left has lost the tip of its beak

definitely used and a bit faded

heightens for me the feeling of this as a very specific loss and the family grieving around them

8 1/4" x 4 5/8" x 1 1/4" (not exactly square in any direction)

Striking, Painterly, Super Crisp Ninth Plate Tintype of Young Woman with Hat hand-painted wooden trinket box I believe the bird (owl)Super crisp and what I would call super painterly, too how beautiful and moody and immediate feeling she is. And what a hat, and what a dress, and what a lovely rosy blush to those cheeks. I really love this one:) 2 1 4" x 1 5 8". A bit of corrosion along edges, mostly one spot along left edge, minor feels very crisp and sharp.
