Indian Plaque Amulet Depicting Feet of Vishnu

Rounded shoulders and a short loop give this one a gentle slump.

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. Small pendant with a bulbous loop and softly sloping shoulders. Two foot designs with toes stand below a ledge and curved leaf forms. Small ring-and-dot studs sit near the bottom corners, and the edges are slightly rippled. It is 0.56 inches long and 0.75 high.

Plump around the edges, and rather endearing.
