Indian Plaque Amulet Depicting Fertility

A buffalo strides across the center while a small crowd of creatures circles it.

This plaque amulet depicting fertility is Hindu, from Rajasthan, India, in coin silver. Rajasthani amulets of this kind were often worked from silver of coin standard and worn on a cord around the neck. In the center, a horned animal, perhaps a buffalo, walks to the right, surrounded by small animals above and below. Rows of round beads frame the scene, inside a square border with flowered corners. Three rounded loops rise along the top above diamond-shaped rosettes. It is 2 inches long and 2.25 high.

Plenty, by the look of it, is a crowded scene.
