A GILT-LACQUERED WOOD SHRINE WITH A PAINTING OF DECHEN GYALMO, QUEEN OF BLISS
This lot is a museum deaccession and is therefore offered without reserve

Tibet, 18th-19th century. The foliate-arched shrine with two doors, each fitted with tasseled copper handles and finely decorated in gilt and polychrome lacquer with a Buddhist lion above a makara head within lobed cartouches formed by scrolling leafy vines, all enclosed by further foliate scroll. The interior of the doors painted with Ashvaghosha seated on a white horse and another protective deity riding a red horse.

The doors open to reveal a painting on cloth of the red-skinned Dechen Gyalmo in a dancing pose atop a lotus dais and backed by a flaming mandorla, set within a verdant landscape with diminutive figures of buddhas and bodhisattvas in the cloudy sky.

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. The top of the shrine with remnants of a Chinese export seal.

Dechen Gyalmo (Queen of Bliss) is a female Buddha more specifically known as a vajrayogini, or a female yogi, who has attained enlightenment through the practice of yoga and by following the tantric (Vajrayana) Buddhist path. Her aspect is somewhat horrific, as she has three eyes, raised eyebrows and bares her teeth. She is naked except for a bone apron strung from her waist and swaying ornaments on her upper body, denoting her energized state. Her attributes include a double-headed drum (damaru) with ribbons attached in her raised right hand, while she holds a chopper (kartika) in her left. Her wrathful quality is a sign of her yogic attainment. She has conquered armies of demons, and illusions (mara) and the inner evils of hatred, anger, greed and selfishness.
