and his wife Siva-devi with smaller figures of their two sons-installed in sarvat 1260 (A.D. 1203) in a Jaina shrine at Cambay. A figure of Sādhadeva (plate 200) was installed in samvat 1242 (A.D. 1185). Obtained from Varavan, the sculpture is preserved in the Prince of Wales Museum, Bombay. Plate 201 shows the minister Vastupāla with his wives. The sculpture is from the Lūnava sahi.
Metal-casting was in an advanced state during the Caulukya period, as is disclosed by a large number of Jaina metal images in the various shrines of Gujarat and Rajasthan. One of the finest specimens of the art of this period, dated in 1188, is a beautiful bronze of śāntinātha with the full parikara, now preserved in the Victoria and Albert Museum, London. Perhaps a part of a very large bronze showing three Tirthankaras, preserved at Vav in north-west Gujarat, is the beautiful standing Tirthankara with an attendant flywhiskbearer, illustrated here on plate 202.
