A PAINTED WOOD LUTE, DRAMYIN
This lot is a museum deaccession and is therefore offered without reserve

Himalayan regions, first half of 20th century. The stringed instrument with a sickle-curved pegbox terminating in the head of a dragon with a bridle around its snout and a snake between its fangs, finely detailed with polychrome pigments, extending to a slender neck carved in low relief with mythological figures, stupas, and shrines within rectangular reserves, the resonator covered with a leather hide to the front.

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.
Condition: Good condition with wear, traces of use, and natural imperfections, minor chips to the base of the neck, few small nicks and minute chips, flaking to pigments.

Weight: 700 g
Dimensions: Length 69 cm

The dramyin (Tibetan: sgra-snyan; Chinese: zhamunie) is a traditional Himalayan folk music lute with six strings, used primarily as an accompaniment to singing in the Drukpa Buddhist culture and society in Bhutan, as well as in Tibet, Ladakh, Sikkim, and Himalayan West Bengal. The name of the instrument translates to ‘beautiful and melodious sound’. Generally used for performing secular music, in Bhutan the dramyin is also played by Drukpa monks during religious festivals, which is notable for being one of the very few instances where the playing of a string instrument is permitted inside a Bhutanese monastery, or within Tibetan Buddhism in general.
