Akoță (Vadodara), 9th century
An early bronze image of Ambikā of about c. seventh century A.D. is exhibited in the Baroda Museum (Acc. No. A 52).5 The image, comparable to the Ambikā images from Akoțā, depicts the two-armed YaKși as seated and holding, as usual, āmra-lumbi and child. Another two-armed image of about ninth century A.D. is found at Sāla at Ghatiyālā (Jodhpur). The goddess, sitting on lotus with couchant lion below her seat, holds amra-lumbi in right hand while the left hand is placed on thigh. On right, however, there stands her son.
