Cluster of heads or rays on a rider, perched astride a sturdy little mount.

This plaque amulet depicting a warrior on horse is Hindu, from Rajasthan, India. It is coin silver. Rajasthan has a long tradition of mounted warriors, and horsemen appear often in its folk art, regional legends and the images of local deities.
