Indian Plaque Amulet Depicting Devi

Peaked little plaque with a dotted frame and a chunky loop.

This plaque amulet depicting Devi is Hindu, from Rajasthan, India. It is coin silver. Silver amulets from Rajasthan are often made from coin silver, which gave smiths a metal of fairly standard purity that works well for stamping and engraving. House-shaped pendant in dull grey with a tall, rounded loop and a stippled square frame. Inside, a seated figure with a crowned head and lined torso sits under a pointed arch. It is 0.75 inches long and 1.25 high.

Neat dots, firm posture, and a loop that means business.
