A GOLD, PEARL, AND TURQUOISE OFFICIAL'S EARRING, SOCHI, TIBET, 19TH CENTURY
This lot is a museum deaccession and is therefore offered without reserve

The elongated earring with a a C-shaped hoop, inlaid with turquoise between granulated gold beads, with a baroque pearl at the midsection, terminating with a large pointed blue glass ornament. The actual hook is made of brass.

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.

Such earrings, known as sochi, were worn singly in the left ear by Tibetan government ministers and officials as a symbol of rank. The design of the earrings tends to combine the sacred and the secular in a subtle way, seen in the present lot with lotus petal designs.
