A GILT AND POLYCHROME WOOD PORTABLE SHRINE WITH A CLAY TSA-TSA DEPICTING TEN MANJUSHRI
This lot is a museum deaccession and is therefore offered without reserve

Tibet or Mongolia, 18th-19th century. The wooden shrine with a lobed outline with a similarly shaped niche housing a clay tsa-tsa with ten images of Manjushri standing with the legs bent apart, a sword aloft in his right hand, and holding a jewel at his chest, against a verdant landscape, all painted in vibrant pigments of red, green, and blue with highlights in gilt. The frame covered to the sides and back in red-lacquered fabric.

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 expected wear and manufacturing irregularities including firing cracks to the tsa-tsa. The wood shrine with minor age cracks as well as small chips. Some flaking to pigment and light rubbing to details. Remnants of varnish. Note that the tsa-tsa cannot be removed from the shrine.
