Indian Plaque Amulet Depicting Vishnupadaka

The feet are wide, the parasol is fringed, and everything is a little crumpled by time.

This plaque amulet depicting Vishnupadaka is Hindu, from Rajasthan, India, in coin silver. The footprints of Vishnu are commonly venerated as a sign of the god's presence, and silver plaques showing them were made for wearing. Two large feet stand under a domed umbrella with a hanging fringe, flanked by tall poles, round vessels and curling leaves. A scalloped band edges the plaque and a flower-topped loop rises from the peak. It is 1.25 inches long and 2 high.

Handmade, and cheerfully off true.
