Indian Plaque Amulet Depicting Diety

A thick, curved loop sits atop a figure flanked by star-like sprays.

This coin silver plaque amulet depicting a Hindu deity is Hindu, from Rajasthan, India. Small metal plaques showing a deity are traditionally worn as amulets, and the figure chosen often reflects the wearer's family tradition or personal devotion. House-shaped pendant with a broad, rounded loop merging into the figure's head. A raised-arm form with a patterned lower half stands between leafy sprays, above a row of tiny dots along the base. It is 0.5 inches long and 0.75 high.

Plenty of loop, a good dash of foliage, little modesty.
