A RARE AND LARGE GILT-LACQUERED WOOD PORTABLE SHRINE, GAU, 18TH CENTURY
This lot is a museum deaccession and is therefore offered without reserve

Tibet. The shrine is of teardrop-form, finely carved to the front with dense scrollwork covered in gilt and accentuated with blue, green, and red lacquered swirls, centered by a window of lobed form, and with lotus petals above the base. The sides are covered in fabric and painted in red lacquer. Fitted with an interior spotlight and cable.

Provenance: Galerie Hardt (established in 1976), Radevormwald, Germany, before 2020. Acquired by the gallery’s founder Peter Hardt (b. 1946) during his extensive travels in Asia, the first of which occurred during a formative world tour in 1973. Throughout his storied career, Peter Kienzle-Hardt organized countless exhibitions and participated in major international art fairs. He made many important contacts during this time and eventually met the Kienzle siblings, who shared his passion for Asian art and culture. A strong bond and deep friendship developed, ultimately leading to the creation of the Museum für Asiatische Kunst decades later in 2014. While the museum’s permanent exhibition predominantly comprised pieces from the Kienzle Family Collection, Peter Kienzle-Hardt supplemented it with objects from his own collection. Before his death in 2019, Horst Kienzle bequeathed his entire property to Peter and legally adopted him as his son, who has been using the name Peter Kienzle-Hardt ever since.
Labels: Galerie Hardt, inscribed ‘Gau, Holz bemalt, Tibet 16. Jh.’, the back ‘130000, H:52 B:45 T:22’, and priced at EUR 9,600.
Condition: Good condition with minor wear, natural age cracks, some of the fabric loosened at the edges, few small chips, and the back with apertures for suspension.

Weight: 7.5 kg
Dimensions: Height 52 cm

Gau are sacred receptacles serving many purposes in Tibetan daily life, including as a sign of social status and rank. They are most commonly constructed from metal repoussé and made according to three different sizes. The small and medium sized gaus are portable, while the largest of gaus were often placed within a home or temple. All hold sacred and auspicious objects including tsa-tsa which can often be seen through a viewing window. Large gilt-lacquered wood shrines such as the present lot are extremely rare.
