Late 18th to early 19th century silver tribal Indian amulet with low relief depiction of a warrior on his horse. Most probably it represents Baba Ramdi - a local folklore hero who singled-handedly saved his village from an army of bandits. Pendants of that type are known as patris, they were made and worn by the tribal gypsy people of Rajasthan and Gujarat for good luck and protection. As religious amulets they were blessed before being first worn. Low grade silver, very nice work, great patina. Height with hanging loop 1 15/16 inches, weight 10.5 grams
