Indian Plaque Amulet Depicting Fertility

A cow strides beneath a spray of big, veined leaves, tail flicked up behind.

This plaque amulet depicting fertility is Hindu, from Rajasthan, India, in coin silver. The cow is honored throughout Hindu India as a giver of nourishment, and it is often linked with abundance and prosperity. On this square plaque, the animal walks beneath a branch of large leaves, its hide speckled with small punches and its tail curled at the hind leg. A row of beading frames the scene, with round bosses at each corner. Two ridged tube bails stand along the top edge. It is 2.25 inches high and 1.8 wide.

Prosperity, compactly stated.
