A PAIR OF LARGE COPPER REPOUSSé MOUNTED BRASS TRUMPETS, DUNG CHEN, SIKKIM
This lot is a museum deaccession and is therefore offered without reserve

Himalayan regions, 19th-early 20th century. Each telescopic horn composed of three collapsible sections, decorated to the body with compressed ferrules flanked by foliate incised bands, all above a key-fret band to the trumpet mouth. The base with loop-cord attachments issuing from lobed cartouches incised with scrolling vines. (2)

Provenance: Enchey Monastery, Gangtok, Sikkim, 1973. The Kienzle Family Collection, Stuttgart, Germany. Acquired between 1950 and 1985 by siblings Else (1912-2006), Reinhold (1917-2008), and Dr. Horst Kienzle (1924-2019), during their extensive travels in Asia. Subsequently inherited by Dr. Horst Kienzle and bequeathed to the Museum für Asiatische Kunst, Radevormwald, Germany. Released through museum deaccession in 2024. The Kienzle siblings were avid travelers and passionate collectors of Asian and Islamic art. During their travels, the Kienzle’s sought out and explored temples, monasteries, and markets, always trying to find the best pieces wherever they went, investing large sums of money and forging lasting relationships to ensure they could acquire them. Their fervor and success in this pursuit is not only demonstrated by their collection but further recorded in correspondences between Horst Kienzle and several noted dignitaries, businesses and individuals in Nepal and Ladakh. Their collection had gained renown by the 1970s, but the Kienzle’s stopped acquiring new pieces around 1985. Almost thirty years later, the collection was moved to the Museum für Asiatische Kunst, Radevormwald, opened by Peter Hardt in 2014. Before his death in 2019, Horst Kienzle bequeathed his entire property to Peter Hardt and legally adopted him as his son, who has been using the name Peter Kienzle-Hardt ever since.
Labels: Kienzle Family Collection, inscribed ‘stammt aus dem Enchi-Kloster in Ganatok (Sikkim). Das Kloster liegt am Berg, oberhalb der Stadt (1973)’.
Condition: Good condition with wear, traces of use, and manufacturing irregularities. Expected dents, small nicks here and there, one trumpet with the mouthpiece section reinforced, the other with the mouthpiece loose and an old metal fill to one section likely inherent to the manufacture.

Weight: 3,558 g and 3,593 g
Dimensions: Length 273 cm and 284 cm

Collapsible long trumpets of brass or silver are found throughout Tibetan culture areas. Made of three or four telescoping sections, these trumpets play only two or three notes. Tonal variety is achieved in subtle ways – by wavering the pitch, fluctuating volume and intensity and by different ways of attacking and releasing the note. Pairs of dung chen are played in ensemble preludes and interludes, alone or in alternation with rgya-glings (shawms) for morning and evening calls from monastery roofs.

Literature comparison:
Compare a closely related pair of dung chen, Tibet, dated to the early 20th century, 208.28 cm tall, in the Rubin Museum of Art, object number SC2012.7.13.1.
