This is an unusual 1860s carte de visite (cdv) of a Chinese woman holding a fan and a cup her in her hands.
While not backmarked, the cdv came with a grouping of Chinese related images-- several having the backmark of Wing- Chong, Portrait Painter and Photographer, Hong Kong.

I think the band is her own hair.
Lovely photo scott - quite a well to do young lady?
Yes it is-- I saw the gap in her hair, but didn't realize (until now) that she was using it as a band!
Thanks for pointing that out gillian.
