A LARGE GILT-BRONZE FLAMING TRIPLE GEM PLAQUE, TRIRATNA, TIBET, 15th-16th CENTURY
This lot is a museum deaccession and is therefore offered without reserve

Heavily cast in leaf form, raised on a beaded lappet base and topped by a cintamani, the body finely decorated with three protruding gems framed by curling flames, the base with an aperture for mounting secured by a loop to the back.

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.
Condition: Very good condition with wear, commensurate with age. Minor warping, small nicks, tiny dings, and expected rubbing to gilt.

Dimensions: Height 36 cm

Symbols already considered auspicious in the Himalayas were adopted by Buddhism. The mythical cintamani, the jewel that grants all wishes, guarded by the serpent deities, became symbolic of the treasure of knowledge and enlightenment afforded by Buddhism and furthermore linked with the Triratna (triple gem), signifying Buddha, his dharma, and his community. This was one of the earliest graphic symbols signifying Buddhism in Tibet.
