I noticed the curved sword for the Maruyan looks like a copy of the western one. The hilt for example is different in the Indian one.

And probably why it dates it to "Ajanta"

Because of the foot soldiers in the Ajanta paintings.

Maybe there is literature mentioning them in the Mauryan period, but Im not even sure.

I think you should make it based on 12.

This image shows some of the weapons on the Sanchi Stupa.
