Post Mortem Ambrotype Photo 1850s
6th plate ambrotype, behind mat and cover glass in a leather daguerreotype case. Some age-related issues like spotting and some darkening..

There is a spot on her chest that was in the image, however.. It's either something like a blister, perhaps a locket.. Not sure, but it seems like the shape is a bit irregular, so I'd guess fever blister or burn mark. In my normal overhead lighting, to me this image looks closest to pic 2.
