About this piece

Teardrop outline, big round belly, and a loop that looks like it came from a heavier piece.

This coin silver plaque amulet depicting an upside-down deity is Hindu, from Rajasthan, India. Small metal plaques bearing the image of a deity are traditionally worn as amulets, in the belief that the divine presence they carry offers protection to the wearer. Pear-shaped disc edged with beads and topped with a broad folded loop. The main figure has a leaf crown, a round dotted body and spread arms with small circles. A few scratchy lines fill the background, and the edge is slightly bent. It is 0.5 inches long and 0.75 high.

Pear-shaped, proud of it, and not remotely sorry.
