What to Focus On

  • Bronze is an alloy of copper, zinc and tin.
  • The lost-wax process was known in the Indus Valley Culture.
  • Wax model, clay covering, metal pouring and finishing are the main stages.
  • The Dancing Girl of Mohenjodaro is the earliest known Indian bronze sculpture.
  • It dates to 2500 BCE.
  • Its limbs and torso are simplified in tubular form.
  • Jain bronzes are important in Gujarat, Rajasthan and Bihar.
  • Chausa bronzes belong to the Kushana Period, second century CE.
  • Adinath is identified by long hairlocks reaching the shoulders.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Bronze means only copper and tin, so bronze sculpture is just copper-tin casting.

The Dancing Girl and the Daimabad Chariot are the same early bronze or belong to the same site and date.

All tirthankara bronzes have the same hair type, so Adinath is no different from other Jain figures.
