A LOT WITH TWO TANTRIC IRON VAJRA KARTIKA RITUAL STAFFS, TIBET, 16TH-17th CENTURY
This lot is a museum deaccession and is therefore offered without reserve

Each iron ritual staff is crafted with a long, slender handle ending in detailed vajra finials and a Kartika blade showcasing a curved edge.

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 ‘Ritual Stik Eisen, Tibet 16. Jh.', the back ‘1776-4’ and ‘H:30 B: 5 T:1’, priced at EUR 1,250 – at the longer staff.
Condition: Good condition with expected wear, small nicks, and casting irregularities.

Weight: 75 g and 95 g
Dimensions: Lengths 35 cm and 30 cm

Ceremonial weaponry was used in tantric rituals to combat obstacles to enlightenment, such as ignorance, delusions, and selfishness.
