A POLYCHROME WOOD SHRINE WITH A GILT-BRONZE REPOUSSé PLAQUE OF PADMAPANI LOKESHVARA, 18TH - 19TH CENTURY
This lot is a museum deaccession and is therefore offered without reserve

Nepal. Avalokiteshvara is standing on a lotus throne and offers a calm, benevolent gaze as his right hand adopts the gesture of granting wishes (varada mudra). The lotus at his left shoulder symbolizes every being's potential to achieve enlightenment despite their past flaws. His body is adorned in beaded jewelry, ornate armlets, floating sashes, and a foliate headdress inlaid in turquoise glass. The shrine with a lobed and reticulated window frame to the front detailed with blossoms on scrolling vines and enclosed by further bands of dots and blossoms.

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 minor wear and dents. The wood shrine with wear, natural age cracks, flaking, signs of weathering and erosion, and minor losses.

Weight: 9 kg (the shrine) and 1.6 kg (the plaque)
Dimensions: Size 85 x 65 cm (the shrine) and 59.8 x 34.2 cm (the plaque)

Expert’s note:
The large scale, deep relief, and exceptional detail suggest that these panels originated from an important shrine to a Buddha or bodhisattva. Compare with a related gilt-copper alloy repoussé figure of a Bodhisattva illustrated on Himalayan Art Resources, item number 11654.

Expert remark: Compare the closely related form, pose, facial features, and treatment of the sashes. Note the openwork, the size (76 cm), the earlier dating, and that the lot comprises two plaques. Notably the description mentions that the large scale, the deep relief, and exceptional detail suggest that these panels originated from an important shrine to a buddha or bodhisattva.
