Indian Plaque Amulet Depicting Ganesh Parvati with Attendant

A seated Ganesh fills the center, flanked by two standing attendants.

This plaque amulet depicting Ganesh Parvati with Attendant is Hindu, from Rajasthan, India, in coin silver. Ganesh, the elephant-headed son of Parvati and Shiva, is widely revered as the remover of obstacles, and his image is a common choice for protective pendants. Here he sits cross-legged with several arms, his trunk curving to one side. Two figures stand at either side holding staffs or tridents, and small crescents and motifs fill the border. The round disc is worn soft, with a sturdy loop at the top. It is 2 inches long and 2.31 high.

Good company for any journey.
