This is my 3x-great-grandmother, who lived from 1824 to 1891.
She appears to be wearing a long chain around her neck, but also what looks like a ring about halfway down the visible 'chain' (see close-up).
I can't quite make out what it is. I'm not sure if the darker line is part of it, or whether it's just a mark on the photograph.
Does anyone know what it might be?
I'd be interested in any other comments too. It seems a very fancy dress with the fringes and bows. And would the chair be a photographer's prop? It doesn't look particularly comfortable to sit on.
