A LARGE BRASS DANCER’S BELT WITH BELLS, ARAMANI, KERALA, 18TH-19TH CENTURY
This lot is a museum deaccession and is therefore offered without reserve

South India. Comprising of six curved plates, hinged together and adorned with large bells suspended from small loops. The two front plates cast with a hook and clasp, the former neatly incised with a line of inscription in Malayalam, and the latter further detailed with a snake peering over the bells.

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 ‘5284', the back ‘B:78 H:11 T:4.5’.
Condition: Very condition with minor wear, traces of use, and manufacturing irregularities. Light scratches, tiny nicks, and small areas of verdigris here and there.

Weight: 3,260 g
Dimensions: Length 78 cm

Literature comparison:
In Kerala, these belts are worn by shamans attached to devi shrines, and are known as aramani. Compare a related belt, dated 18th-19th century, in the British Museum, registration number 1923,1212.1.
