A LARGE BRONZE ‘GREEN TARA’ SINGING BOWL
This lot is a museum deaccession and is therefore offered without reserve

Nepal or Tibet, first half of the 20th century. Heavily cast with deep rounded sides finely incised to the interior with an image of Green Tara seated in lalitasana on a lotus base, her right hand lowered in varada mudra and her left holding a lotus stem coming to full bloom at her shoulders, all enclosed within bands of scrolling vines. The exterior is neatly inscribed with Tibetan mantras following the rounded contours of the body in a graduating script.

Provenance: The Kienzle Family Collection, Stuttgart, Germany. Acquired between 1950 and 1985 by siblings Else (1912-2006), Reinhold (1917-2008), and Dr. Horst Kienzle (1924-2019), during their extensive travels in Asia. Subsequently inherited by Dr. Horst Kienzle and bequeathed to the Museum für Asiatische Kunst, Radevormwald, Germany. Released through museum deaccession in 2024. The Kienzle siblings were avid travelers and passionate collectors of Asian and Islamic art. During their travels, the Kienzle’s sought out and explored temples, monasteries, and markets, always trying to find the best pieces wherever they went, investing large sums of money and forging lasting relationships to ensure they could acquire them. Their fervor and success in this pursuit is not only demonstrated by their collection but further recorded in correspondences between Horst Kienzle and several noted dignitaries, businesses and individuals in Nepal and Ladakh. Their collection had gained renown by the 1970s, but the Kienzle’s stopped acquiring new pieces around 1985. Almost thirty years later, the collection was moved to the Museum für Asiatische Kunst, Radevormwald, opened by Peter Hardt in 2014. Before his death in 2019, Horst Kienzle bequeathed his entire property to Peter Hardt and legally adopted him as his son, who has been using the name Peter Kienzle-Hardt ever since.
Condition: Very good condition with minor wear, some traces of use, shallow surface scratches, and casting irregularities. Few tiny nicks to the exterior.

Weight: 9.2 kg
Dimensions: Diameter 48.5 cm

Singing bowls are traditional instruments widely used for meditation, sound healing, and spiritual practices. Made from a special alloy of metals such as copper, tin, silver, and gold, these handmade bowls produce deep, resonant tones and soothing vibrations when struck or played with a mallet. Often adorned with intricate designs, symbols, or mantras, they are believed to promote relaxation, align energy centers (chakras), and deepen meditative states.

Most traditional singing bowls are much smaller, ranging between 10-25 cm in diameter. Larger bowls, like the present lot, are rarer and usually serve specific purposes, such as creating powerful, low-frequency vibrations that can fill a large space. These oversized bowls are often used in sound therapy sessions, group meditations, or ceremonial settings, where their deep and resonant tones have a dramatic effect.
