Both are wearing painted gold accent jewelry, buttons, chains, etc. Behind mat and glass in excellent antique condition. Case is missing the cover. Behind the image is a great folded up note with some writing visible.

The note in part mentions fighting in the war and being wounded at Gettysburg and meeting a rebel who "saved each others skin". It starts of with the word "These", so there were probably multiple images at one time, which might explain other parts of the note.
