Indian Plaque Amulet Depicting Devi

Wide-eyed face peers out from a soft, uneven little plaque.

This plaque amulet depicting Devi is Hindu, from Rajasthan, India. It is coin silver. Devi is the Sanskrit word for goddess, and in Hinduism it names the feminine divine in many forms that are honored across India. Flat rectangular pendant with notched upper corners and a broad flat loop. A figure with a large round face, small ear-like tabs and round shoulder marks is pressed in low relief, with dotted lines on the right. It is 0.75 inches long and 1.25 high.

Wonky and wonderfully direct, with a lot of face.
