Indian Plaque Amulet Depicting Feet of Vishnu

In tidy arched compartments, two footprints stand side by side.

This plaque amulet depicting the feet of Vishnu is Hindu, from Rajasthan, India. It is coin silver. Coin silver is an alloy with a fixed silver content, traditionally made from melted coinage, and jewelers in western India often used it for amulets. Thick-looped at the top with a sloped shoulder, this small plaque shows two stamped soles with toes inside paired arches. Circles sit below, and a dotted line runs along the bottom edge. It is 0.56 inches long.

The footprints have clearly walked a long way.
