Scalloped arch overhead, figures seated below, and the metal gently rubbed down.

This plaque amulet depicting the feet of Vishnu is Hindu, from Rajasthan, India. It is coin silver. Plaque amulets are flat, usually pierced for a cord, and carry a single image in relief or engraving so that it can be worn close to the body. Broad flat pendant with a fat looped top and a squared base. Two upright figures rest in relief beneath a shallow arch with curling leaf shapes on either side. The surface is lumpy and well rubbed. It is 0.69 inches long and 1 high.

Softened by handling, and all the more companionable for it.
