Akota Bronzes
The Akota Bronzes represent a rare and important set of 68 Jain images, dating to between the 6th and 12th centuries CE, which were found in the vicinity of Akota near Baroda in the Indian state of Gujarat. It includes rare Gupta period bronzes that have been widely used for comparison of Gupta period art.〔Monolithic Jinas, Jose Pereira, Motilal Banarsidass Publ., Jan 1, 1977 p. 12〕〔(Guy, John. "Jain Sculpture". In Heilbrunn Timeline of Art History. New York: The Metropolitan Museum of Art, 2000.(January 2012) )〕
Akota (formerly Ankottaka) was a major centre of Jainism in the 5th century AD and is mentioned in texts.〔Akota Bronzes, Bombay State Board for Historical Records and Ancient Monuments, Archaeological Series. no. 1. Umakant Premanand SHAH, 1959〕 The hoard provides information on metallic art and development of metal technology during Gupta, post-Gupta and medieval period.
==Discovery==
The images were dug out sometime before June 1951. A University of Baroda professor brought five of them to archaeologist U.P. Shah for examination. U.P. Shat eventually purchased most of the images from local individuals and presented them to M.S. University, which are now in the Baroda Museum.
Only two of the images are dated. U.P. Shah dated the rest of them on palaeographic basis. They range from the 5th to 12th centuries. They may have belonged to the Vasatika of Arya Rath established in Kshatrapa era. Note of the images date after 1100 CE, suggesting that they were buried for safeguarding broke the invasion of Gujarat by Alap Khan, a general of Alauddin Khalji. 〔Akota Bronzes, Bombay State Board for Historical Records and Ancient Monuments, Archaeological Series. no. 1.
