Indian Plaque Amulet Depicting Warrior on Horse

Tiny rosette on the loop, because even a hanging point deserves a flourish.

This plaque amulet depicting a warrior on horse is Hindu, from Rajasthan, India. It is coin silver. Rajasthan has a long tradition of mounted warriors, and horsemen appear often in its folk art, regional legends and the images of local deities. Pointed-top pendant with a small round flower stamped on the hanging loop. A rider on a horse fills an arched niche, framed by columns. Dotted borders surround the field, and the silver surface is lightly scuffed and gray. It is 0.75 inches long and 1 high.

Neat, symmetrical and just a touch vain.
