A RARE AND EARLY GAU COVER DEPICTING BUDDHA SHAKYAMUNI, TIBET, 12TH-14TH CENTURY
This lot is a museum deaccession and is therefore offered without reserve

The brass cover is finely engraved with the image of Buddha seated in dhyanasana with his right hand extended in bhumisparsha mudra, the left raised above the lap and holding an alms bowl. He wears loosely-draped monastic robes belted at the waist and opening at the chest, all backed by a nimbus. The sides with ringed, loop cord attachments.

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.
Condition: Good condition with wear and casting irregularities. Minor tarnishing, some rubbing, small losses, and few scratches. One loop cord attachment plugged with wood and fabric cords.

Weight: 168.5 g
Dimensions: Height 9.7 cm
