A RARE AND LARGE COPPER REPOUSSé SHRINE WITH CHATURBHUJA AVALOKITESHVARA, 19TH – EARLY 20TH CENTURY
This lot is a museum deaccession and is therefore offered without reserve

Tibet. Finely chased and embossed, the shrine of lobed outline with a similarly shaped central window framed by a band of sinuous dragons above ruyi-shaped clouds. The inner frame with dense scrollwork and beaded rims, depicting at the center the four-armed Avalokiteshvara seated in dhyanasana on a lotus base, his primary hands in anjali mudra, the right hand holding a mala, and the left hand with a lotus flower. The sides decorated with lobed repoussé cartouches featuring vines and blossoms, and the reverse with loops for mounting.

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 ‘Gau Kupfer getrieben Nepal 19. Jh.‘, and priced at EUR 6,750.
Condition: Good condition with minor wear and casting irregularities, small dents, few minor losses to edges, minor fatigue cracks.

Weight: 6.9 kg
Dimensions: Size 60.9 x 52.8 cm

Expert’s note:
Gau-form shrines are commonly carried on the body and therefore usually of considerably smaller size than the present lot, making it exceedingly rare.

Literature comparison:
Compare an amulet box of similar form, dated to the 19th century, 32 cm high, in the Rubin Museum of Art, object number C2008.21.
