A COPPER REPOUSSé KAPALA AND STAND, TIBET, 18TH-19TH CENTURY
This lot is a museum deaccession and is therefore offered without reserve

Finely worked, the copper cup in the form of a skull surmounted by a domed cover incised with foliate patterns beneath a vajra design and above crashing waves, centered by a lotus-bud finial terminating in a four-pronged vajra. Raised on a triangular, reticulated stand decorated with flaming swirls, above a band of double lotus, the corners decorated with three heads, and the edges of the foot with makara heads.

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, typed ‘Reg #S170, Kapalla, Kupfer, Tibet, 18. Jh', and priced at EUR 3,250.
Condition: Very good condition with minor wear, traces of use, and manufacturing irregularities, few small dents, little warping. The finial slightly loose. The copper with a naturally grown, dark patina.
