Indian Plaque Amulet Depicting Devi

Tall tab with a mask-like face and swirling, flared garments.

This plaque amulet depicting Devi is Hindu, from Rajasthan, India. It is coin silver. Devi is the Sanskrit word for goddess, and in Hinduism it names the feminine divine in many forms that are honored across India. Upright rectangular pendant with clipped upper corners and a small loop. A raised figure with a pointed crown and outstretched arms wears a skirt pressed into curved, fan-like folds below a dotted waistband. It is 0.5 inches long and 0.75 high.

Plenty of gesture packed into a tiny rectangle.
