Indian Plaque Amulet Depicting Vishnu

Cross-legged in a house studded with little flowers, a small figure sits tight.

This plaque amulet depicting Vishnu is Hindu, from Rajasthan, India. It is coin silver. Vishnu is one of the main deities of Hinduism, regarded as the preserver of the world, and he is often shown with four arms. Gabled, with a thick hanging loop, the plaque has beaded corners and a zigzag band along the base. In the center, a small figure with folded legs is raised in relief within a plain niche. It is 0.69 inches long and 1 high.

Tiny home, tiny occupant, and a very neat porch.
