Indian Plaque Amulet Depicting Double Devi

Two softly pressed figures face outward, worn so gently they have nearly melted into the plaque.

This plaque amulet depicting a double Devi is Hindu, from Rajasthan, India. It is coin silver. Paired or doubled figures are a familiar device in Indian devotional imagery, where repeated forms can emphasize a deity's presence and power. Domed plaque with a tall central loop and a slightly sunken mid-line. Two small standing figures with round heads sit in low, rubbed relief on either side, and the gray surface is smooth and soft. It is 1.25 inches long and 1.25 high.

Handled so much it forgot its edges.
