A LARGE AND GILT COPPER ALLOY BASE, TIBET, 17TH CENTURY
This lot is a museum deaccession and is therefore offered without reserve

Of double-lotus form, each overlapping petal meticulously cast, the tips dotted with beads, all under a thickly beaded edge. The top decorated with a gilt double-vajra.

Inscriptions: Inscribed twice to the back of the base with the character, ‘Da’ (‘great’).

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: Very good condition with minor wear and casting irregularities including ancient metal fills. Small nicks and scattered scratches. Tiny dings and minor warping. Few cracks and minuscule losses to the top. Expected rubbing to gilt.

Weight: 2,005 g
Dimensions: Width 36.7 cm, Height 10.4 cm

Expert’s note:
The substantial size and intricate craftsmanship of the present base suggest it was designed to support a significant devotional figure, likely around 50 cm high. This size aligns with the grandeur often associated with Tibetan ritual art, intended to command presence in a shrine or temple setting. The double-lotus design, with its deeply defined petals, further emphasizes the sanctity of the figure, underlining its central role in religious observance.
