A BRONZE ‘ELEPHANT’ LINGAM OR KAPALA STAND, CIRCA 17TH – 18TH CENTURY
This lot is a museum deaccession and is therefore offered without reserve

Tibet or Nepal. Finely cast with four cabriole legs in the form of elephant heads with elegantly curved trunks, their foreheads adorned with beaded jewelry and surmounted by citipati heads, each head flanked by a kirtimukha mask.

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 ‘St?nder für Lingam, Nepal, 17. Jh’, the back ‘Reg 83108, ?15 cm’, and priced at EUR 6,750.
Condition: Very good condition with minor wear and casting irregularities, few minuscule nicks mostly to base, remnants of gilt. The bronze with a smooth, naturally grown patina.
