Indian Plaque Amulet Depicting Diety

A narrow-waisted figure with several arms stands inside a lined, arched frame.

This coin silver plaque amulet depicting a Hindu deity is Hindu, from Rajasthan, India. Hindu worship often centers on the image of a deity, and a small plaque bearing such an image can be worn close to the body as a sign of devotion. Gabled pendant with a stout, V-notched loop and a smooth bright surface. A standing figure with raised arms and fine hatch lines on its lower body stands before a double arch and beaded edge. It is 0.75 inches long and 1 high.

Neat as a pin and surprisingly busy in the arms.
