Indian Plaque Amulet Depicting Feet of Vishnu

Feather-like roof strokes top a plain box with two faint figures.

This plaque amulet depicting the feet of Vishnu is Hindu, from Rajasthan, India. It is coin silver. Plaque amulets are flat, usually pierced for a cord, and carry a single image in relief or engraving so that it can be worn close to the body. Boxy house-shaped pendant with a thick short loop and finely striped gable. Two upright figures appear faintly in the panel, with scratches and small shapes at their feet. The edge is thin and slightly bent. It is 0.5 inches long and 0.75 high.

Modest in detail, but proud of its roofline.
