A VERY LARGE WOODEN ARCHITECTURAL PANEL, CARVED WITH MYTHICAL FIGURES, 18TH CENTURY OR EARLIER
This lot is a museum deaccession and is therefore offered without reserve

Nepal. Composed of four separately carved panels, each depicting various deities including Ganesha and Umamaheshvara, bodhisattvas, worshipers, and mythical creatures, some standing and others supported on vahanas or prostate figures, two flanking a stupa, all framed by petals below and a beaded rim above.

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: Good condition with minor wear, natural imperfections including expected age cracks, signs of weathering, minor losses.

Wood carving is a hallmark of Nepalese temple architecture, showcasing the intricate craftsmanship of Newar artisans. Found predominantly in the Kathmandu Valley, these carvings adorn doorways, windows, struts, and tympanums, often depicting deities, mythical creatures, and religious motifs. The carvings are integral to the aesthetic and symbolic identity of Nepalese temples, blending functional architecture with sacred storytelling.
