A GILT-COPPER REPOUSSé PLAQUE OF THE FOUR-ARMED GANESHA, 16TH-17TH CENTURY
This lot is a museum deaccession and is therefore offered without reserve

Nepal. Exquisitely modeled to depict the Remover of Obstancles striding in alidhasana with his right foot atop his vehicle the rat, above a lotus-petaled base and backed by a flaming mandorla. The four-armed deity holding in his primary right hand a bowl of sweets from which he samples with his trunk, the secondary hands raised holding an axe and a lotus. He is clad in a short dhoti and adorned with ornate jewelry and a garland of severed heads around the waist. The face with almond-shaped eyes and the hair secured by a five-leaf crown. The reverse incised with a lengthy Nepalese inscription.

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.
