A WOOD EXORCIST'S HORN, THUN RVA, TIBET, 18TH CENTURY
This lot is a museum deaccession and is therefore offered without reserve

Finely carved in relief with a scorpion, elephant, boar, frog, and mythological beasts interspersed amongst auspicious symbols, terminating in the head of a makara, its open mouth forming the spout, and the curled trunk functioning as the loop-cord attachment, with original cords in place. The base sealed with wood.

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, typed ‘Reg #S429, Horn, Tibet', priced at EUR 1,250.
Condition: Very good condition with some wear, age hairlines, and manufacturing irregularities. Remnants of pigment. Minuscule losses to the edge of the sealed base.

Weight: 367.5 g
Dimensions: Length 22.5 cm

This horn terminates in the head of a mythical crocodile (makara) and is carved with auspicious and protective designs such as a scorpion and frog. During exorcisms, beans or mustard seeds, kept inside the horn, are cast into the air.
