A house-shaped plaque with a fan canopy and a ruler-straight row of columns.

This plaque amulet depicting the seven sisters is Hindu, from Rajasthan, India. It is coin silver. A group of figures in low relief can be shown in a row on a flat plaque, with each figure picked out in a thin sheet of metal. A pendant with a pitched top and a single hanging loop. A ribbed fan-like canopy sits over a row of slim, finely lined columns, all inside a dotted border. The sides are slightly uneven and show a soft, rubbed shine. It is 0.75 inches long and 0.75 high.
