Indian Plaque Amulet Depicting Double Devi Under Chhatri

Waiting in a tidy doorway, two upright figures mirror one another.

This plaque amulet depicting a double Devi under a chhatri is Hindu, from Rajasthan, India. It is coin silver. Rajasthani silver amulet plaques are generally cast or stamped as flat pieces for wearing, and they often carry the image of a folk or village deity. Soft corners frame two nearly matching figures stamped with raised arms and triangular skirts. A split, pinched loop crowns the top, and a pale, aged surface covers the rim and the narrow border. It is 0.75 inches long and 1 high.

Symmetry so neat it nearly looks rehearsed.
