A PAIR OF FINE SILVER AND TURQUOISE WOMAN'S TEMPLE PENDANTS, AKOR
This lot is a museum deaccession and is therefore offered without reserve

Tibet, circa 1900. Crafted from several teardrop-shaped and circular sections to form a stylized floral design, inlaid with turquoise cabochons of various sizes. (2)

Provenance: 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.
Condition: Very good condition with signs of wear and light scratches.

Weight: 83.5 g and 81.2 g
Dimensions: Length 14.2 cm and 13.9 cm

Pendants such as these were too bulky to be worn from the ears and so were worn near the ears as if they were earrings. Typically they were suspended from the wearer’s headdress. The present pair is typical of the Lhasa style that was worn by aristocratic wives.

Literature comparison:
Compare a related pair of women’s earrings, akor, dated to the 19th century, in the World Museum, Liverpool, accession numbers 53.87.185 and 53.87.186.
