A LARGE POLYCHROMED CLAY TSA-TSA OF A STUPA, 19TH CENTURY OR EARLIER
This lot is a museum deaccession and is therefore offered without reserve

Bhutan. Modeled in the form of a central stupa painted yellow and enclosed by eight smaller stupas painted red. The mid-section with a band of lotus petals below an inscription of Tibetan mantras in raised characters. The base hollowed with a small aperture.

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.
Labels: Galerie Hardt, inscribed ‘Tsa Tsa Stupa, Ton gefa?t, Tibet 17 Jh’, the back ‘#123512’, and priced at EUR 7,750.
Condition: Good condition with some wear and manufacturing irregularities including fissures. Minor chips here and there, expected flaking and losses to pigments.

Weight: 2.7 kg
Dimensions: Height 17.5 cm

These types of tsa-tsa can be found along Bhutanese roads or in small caves, which often contain small votive offerings, herbs, ground relics or the ashes of a dead person. They are often seen besides monasteries, dzongs, chortens, and large stupas. Tsa-tsa are molded from plaster or clay, ashes, and other sacred substances, such as ground-up texts from holy texts. The mixture is then pressed into a mold and left to dry or baked. These clay figures are believed to prevent disasters, cure illness, and provide atonement. The present lot is an early and particularly heavy example.
