A HANGING ‘MAKARA’ OIL LAMP, KHADULLU, NEWAR, 19th CENTURY
This lot is a museum deaccession and is therefore offered without reserve

Nepal. The shallow oil reservoir is circular in form and is raised on a waisted, lotus pedestal with a thick beaded edge issuing leaf shaped tassels. The sides are applied with a reticulated arch embellished with makaras on each side and surmounted by a lotus bud finial with an aperture suspending a chain for suspension.

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.

Makara are legendary sea-creatures in Hindu mythology and in astrology, they are equivalent to the Zodiac sign of the Capricorn. They appear as the vehicle of the river goddesses Ganga and Narmada, and of the sea god Varuna. Makara are considered guardians of gateways and thresholds, protecting throne rooms as well as entryways to temples. It is the most commonly recurring creature in Hindu and Buddhist temple iconography and frequently appears as a Gargoyle or as a spout attached to a natural spring. Through its association with water, it symbolizes the unpredictable power of the elemental forces that govern life.
