Indian Plaque Amulet Depicting Feet of Vishnu

Bright, clean and bead-trimmed, with footprints that look freshly stamped.

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. House-shaped pendant with a small ring loop and a hatched gable. Two toed foot designs with crossed bodies sit in the central field, flanked by leaf shapes and round studs. A row of beads runs along the base. It is 0.56 inches long and 0.81 high.

Neat enough to make the dots feel intentional.
