Indian Plaque Amulet Depicting Feet of Vishnu

Woven-looking canopy sits atop small figures in a crisp frame.

This plaque amulet depicting the feet of Vishnu is Hindu, from Rajasthan, India. It is coin silver. Silver amulets from Rajasthan are often made from coin silver, which gave smiths a metal of fairly standard purity that works well for stamping and engraving. Broad five-sided pendant with a stout loop. Cross-hatching fills the roof, and two seated figures sit below it with short vertical marks beside them. Rows of dots run along the base and edges of the frame. It is 0.56 inches long and 0.81 high.

Tidy, compact, and entirely sure of its layout.
