A STAINED BONE RITUAL DRUM WITH SILK TASSELS, DAMARU
This lot is a museum deaccession and is therefore offered without reserve

Tibet, 19th century. The hand-held drum in the form of two craniums wrapped with leather, the metal collar inlaid with glass in imitation of coral and turquoise and issuing twisted fabric pelts and a brocade silk banner embroidered with Buddhist emblems.

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, manufacturing irregularities, and natural imperfections, small losses to inlays, soiling, and few losses.

Weight: 201 g (incl. tassels)
Dimensions: Diameter 16 cm, Length 75 cm (incl. tassels)

Sound being a central component of Buddhist liturgy and ritual, the damaru (hand drum) is often used in tantric ceremonies. Tibetan Buddhist monks and shamans use this type of drum to interrupt phrases of recitation when it is necessary to summon certain deities. A pelting sound is produced when the drum is rotated back and forth in the right hand as the attached cloth beads strike the drum.

Literature comparison:
