DESCRIPTIVE DATA
----------------
object type: One of a set of nine bronze plaquettes depicting successive rulers of the Indian state of Baroda, that were created to be awarded to students of the Maharaja Sayajirao University of Baroda, the foundation of the commissioning monarch, Sir Sayajirao Gaekwar III (1875-1938). A set each was awarded at the creation of the series to the British Museum, the Fitzwilliam and the Bodleian Library in Oxford. The intention was that the dynastic history of the state be spread through the land by the awarding of these plaquettes to its most successful students, but in the event the program was never fulfilled, and these interesting and unusual pieces remain extremely rare.
