A COPPER ALLOY FIGURE OF A LAMA, TIBET, 16TH-18TH CENTURY
This lot is a museum deaccession and is therefore offered without reserve

Thinly cast seated on a double cushion, the right hand lowered in varada mudra while cradling a book in his left, wearing a Gelug cap and voluminous patchwork robes richly carved with elegant folds and delicately draped over his seat. His serene face with full lips, a narrow nose, and almond-shaped eyes, capturing the dignified and contemplative expression of a lama. The base sealed with a wood block.

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 ‘Gelb-mützer, Lama, Bronze, Tibet, 16/17 Jh.’, and priced at EUR 4,250.
Condition: Very good condition with minor wear and casting irregularities. Tiny nicks, few minor dings, and light scratches.

Weight: 240.5 g
Dimensions: Height 10.8 cm

Expert’s note:
The figure is meticulously inlaid with minuscule bronze plaques in rectangular and circular shapes, often referred to as casting patches, with notable placements on the shoulder and back. These plaques may have once served a ritual purpose and are frequently observed in Buddhist sculptures.
