Indian Plaque Amulet Depicting 7 Deities

Seven figures in seven small rooms, and a worn silver glow over all of them.

This plaque amulet depicting 7 deities is Hindu, from Rajasthan, India, in coin silver. Plaque amulets like this are widely worn across Rajasthan and are generally understood to offer protection. One figure sits in an arched niche at the top, and six more stand in two rows of framed compartments below, each with a pointed canopy and raised dots. The surface is dark with age, brighter along the raised edges, and a loop at the top allows it to hang. It is 1.6 inches long and 2.25 high.

A full household, tucked into one small plaque.
