Indian Plaque Amulet Depicting Feet of Vishnu

Round medallion where crossed feet fill the field right to the rim.

This plaque amulet depicting the feet of Vishnu is Hindu, from Rajasthan, India. It is coin silver. Silver amulets from Rajasthan are often made from coin silver, which gave smiths a metal of fairly standard purity that works well for stamping and engraving. Disc-shaped pendant with a ribbed, tall loop and a beaded rim. Two large foot shapes with toe pellets sit inside striped leaf-like borders, divided by a central line. The metal is bright and smoothly polished. It is 0.5 inches long and 0.7 high.

A perfect circle, give or take a charming wobble.
