Indian Plaque Amulet Depicting Warrior on Horse

Wide and wavy, this horseman takes up all the room he can get.

This plaque amulet depicting a warrior on horse is Hindu, from Rajasthan, India. It is coin silver. Coin silver is an alloy that was commonly made by melting down silver coins, and it is generally somewhat harder than pure silver. Broad pendant with uneven, softly rippled edges and a tall narrow loop pinched at the top. The mounted figure is pressed deep, with leaf-like marks across the horse. A band of dots runs along the base. It is 0.5 inches long and 0.75 high.

Hand-pressed and happy to look it.
