About this stamp

On the Stamp

The right-hand end of a bronze stand, with a seated figure against a rounded halo, on a dark ground, with the words “Baroda Museum, Vadodara” in Hindi and English, on a ₹6 stamp.

A Bronze Stand

India Post issued two stamps on 20 December 1994 for the centenary of the Baroda Museum, ₹6 and ₹11, printed side by side so that together they show one bronze on its stand. This one shows the ornament at the right-hand end of the stand. Its companion carries the main figure, a sixth-century bronze of Rishabhanatha, the first tirthankara of Jainism. The museum was built in 1894, under the Gaekwads of Baroda, and modelled on the Victoria and Albert Museum and the Science Museum in London. India Post’s brochure for this issue is not online, so this text draws on Wikipedia and on the stamp itself.
