Indian Plaque Amulet Depicting Feet of Vishnu

Tiny scratched mark on the loop, as if someone signed the top.

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 squared loop that bears a small incised cross. Two figures with toed feet sit beneath a hatched gable and a leaf shape. The beaded frame is slightly irregular and the surface slightly pitted. It is 0.64 inches long and 1 high.

Signed or merely scratched, it wears the mark well.
