About this piece

The corners are not quite square, but the horseman rides on regardless.

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. Slightly askew plaque with a tall rounded loop and one angled shoulder. A mounted figure with raised arm rides left to right under a shallow arch. Beaded dots trace the lower edge, and the surface is smooth and pale. It is 0.5 inches long and 0.75 high.

A little crooked, and all the more convincing for it.
