Indian Plaque Amulet Depicting Sun God

A pointed-top plaque with a face in a halo and a slightly twisted edge.

This plaque amulet depicting the sun god is Hindu, from Rajasthan, India. It is coin silver. Rajasthan has silver jewelry traditions that were made for many communities, with amulets and pendants that are usually worn on a cord around the neck. A pendant with angled shoulders and a diamond-shaped neck joining a tall loop. A face with a prominent brow sits in a radiating burst, with leaf-like flourishes at the corners. One side edge looks slightly bent. It is 0.5 inches long and 0.75 high.

A little irregular, which only adds to its charm.
