Akota Bronzes, Bronze sculptures from 6th century in Akota, India
The collection comprises 68 Jain bronze images featuring deities, attendants, and religious figures created between the 6th and 12th centuries AD.
Discovered near Vadodara in 1951, these bronze artifacts belonged to the Vasatika of Arya Rath established during the Kshatrapa period in Gujarat.
The bronzes display sophisticated metalworking techniques and include representations of Tirthankaras, spiritual teachers, and the protective goddess Ambika.
The Baroda Museum and Picture Gallery exhibits the majority of these bronze sculptures, while additional pieces reside in the National Museum of New Delhi.
Two images of Jivantasvami, depicting Mahavira as a prince, represent the earliest examples of western Indian artistic traditions in metal sculpting.
