Indian Plaque Amulet Depicting Devi

Beaded ring surrounds an arched window and one graceful figure.

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. Round pendant with a border of tiny raised dots and a paired loop at the top. An arched panel in the centre holds a figure with a tilted head and a triangular skirt marked with lines. It is 1 inches long and 1.25 high.

Neat dotted edge and a nicely tilted head.
