  Several new bands have been identified in 130Ba, among which there is one
with band-head spin 8+. Its properties are in agreement with the Fermi-aligned
\nu h11/2^2 , 7/2+[523] \otimes 9/2-[514] Nilsson configuration. This is the
first observation of a two-quasiparticle t-band in the A=130 mass region. The
t-band is fed by a dipole band involving two additional h11/2 protons. The
odd-spin partners of the proton and neutron S-bands and the ground-state band
at high spins are also newly identified. The observed bands are discussed using
several theoretical models, which strongly suggest the coexistence of prolate
and oblate shapes polarized by rotation aligned two-proton and two-neutron
configurations, as well as prolate collective rotations around axes with
different orientations. With the new results, 130Ba presents one of the best
and most complete sets of collective excitations that a gamma-soft nucleus can
manifest at medium and high spins, revealing a diversity of shapes and
rotations for the nuclei in the A = 130 mass region.
