A NECROMANCER’S BONE APRON, BELT, ARMLET, AND WRISTBAND, 18TH-19TH CENTURY
This lot is a museum deaccession and is therefore offered without reserve

Himalayan regions, Tibet or Nepal. The apron comprises reticulated oblong plaques carved in low relief with dakinis standing in dynamic poses within foliate arched lobes, suspending smaller double-vajra plaques joined by a network of stranded beads. The matching belt and armlets of similar design, secured to the edges with citipati beads.

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 ‘Komplette Knochen-Schürze aus Tibet für Rituale’, the back ‘Tiara, Brustschmuck, Schürze Arm-u. Beinschmuck', and priced at EUR 7,500.
Condition: Very good condition with wear and natural imperfections. Loose threads, shortened cord ties, small losses, and soiling.

Dimensions: Length 49 cm (the apron), 52 cm (the belt), 28 cm (the armlet), and 22.5 cm (the wristband)

Bone aprons and jewelry are used both in tantric rituals and religious dance performances. These types of ornaments are generally paired with a brocade costume and worn by a person representing a deity in tantric Buddhist rituals and dances. The carved designs on the bone are both figurative and decorative. Skeleton figures representing spirits and ghosts from a cemetery or charnel ground are also common decorative elements.
