Silver Ritual Plate

A detailed, hand-hammered silver repoussé plaque, likely of Indian or Nepalese origin, configured as a 4x3 grid. Each of the twelve compartments is deeply carved with symbolic figures and motifs. The top row features two rampant horses and a central sun-face medallion. The second row contains two elephants and a central crescent moon. The third row shows two lions and a central cosmic knot/swastika symbol. The bottom row depicts three standing figures, possibly deities or avatars. The plaque is topped with an ornate, arching suspension loop and has a small, worn metal bell attached to the bottom edge, preserving its authentic, aged patina against a muted taupe background.
