Indian Plaque Amulet Depicting Durga on Horse

A rider on horseback, one arm raised, ready for anything within a very small arch.

This plaque amulet depicting Durga on horse is Hindu, from Rajasthan, India, in coin silver. Durga is a major goddess in Hinduism, widely honored as a protector, and is often shown mounted on an animal and carrying weapons. This plaque has a pointed top and two loops for hanging. A figure sits astride a horse that rears slightly, with an arm held high, and plants curl up along both sides within a scalloped arch. A dotted border runs along the bottom edge. It is 1.25 inches long and 1.6 high.

Small, steadfast and moving forward.
