A BRONZE TSA-TSA ‘AKSHOBHYA BUDDHA’ MOLD, TIBET, c. 17TH CENTURY
This lot is a museum deaccession and is therefore offered without reserve

Of lobed form, the interior with deep relief to impress an image of Akshobhya Buddha surrounded by nine Buddhas, interspersed with diminutive stupas. Each Buddha seated in dhyanasana atop a lotus pedestal and backed by a flaming mandorla.

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 ‘Tsa-Tsa Form mit Buddhas', the back ‘Bronze, Tibet 16/17 Jh’, priced at EUR 1,250.
Condition: Good condition with wear, signs of use, and casting irregularities. Two apertures for suspension to the frame. The bronze with a naturally grown patina with malachite and cuprite encrustations.

Weight: 382.5 g
Dimensions: Height 9.9 cm

Clay mixed with ritual materials such as ground incense, grains and/or the ashes of a sacred individual would have been pressed into the mold, removed and then dried in the sun. Called a tsa-tsa in Tibet, such a plaque increased the Buddhist merit attributable to the individual who commissioned it, and even to those who viewed it. Tsa-tsas often were left as offerings at sites of pilgrimage.
