? AN IVORY PLAQUE OF TSONGKHAPA WITH KEDRUP AND GYELTSAP
This lot is a museum deaccession and is therefore offered without reserve

Tibet or Nepal, 17th-18th century. Finely carved with each figure seated on a double cushion atop a shared lotus base, wearing a Gelug cap and voluminous robes, backed by a flaming mandorla. The central Tsongkhapa with his hands raised in dharmachakra mudra holding long lotus stems coming to full bloom at the shoulders, flanked by his two principal students Kedrup and Gyeltsap.

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 natural imperfections including fissures. Minor rubbing to details and few scratches. Two small losses to the edge of the mandorla.

Tsongkhapa (1357-1419), founder of the Gelug school of Tibetan Buddhism, was a visionary scholar and reformer who emphasized ethical discipline, rigorous study, and meditation. His two chief disciples, Kedrup and Gyeltsab, were instrumental in preserving and spreading his teachings. Kedrup, known for his intellectual brilliance, systematized Tsongkhapa’s ideas and strengthened the Gelug school’s philosophical foundation. Gyeltsab, renowned for his expertise in monastic discipline, became the first Ganden Tripa, ensuring the institutional stability of the tradition. Together, this trio symbolizes the harmonious blend of wisdom, ethics, and compassion, leaving a lasting legacy in Tibetan Buddhism.
