A RARE BRONZE AND LACQUERED WOOD RITUAL STAFF, 17TH-18TH CENTURY
This lot is a museum deaccession and is therefore offered without reserve

Tibet. The staff surmounted by a bronze finial in the form of a stupa supported on a lotus base and enclosed by an openworked flaming mandorla, mounted to a cylindrical handle carved from wood painted with bands of yellow, black, red, and green.

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 some wear, traces of use, manufacturing irregularities, and natural imperfections, small chips, flaking to pigments.

Weight: 212 g
Dimensions: Length 33.1 cm

The ritual staff is an important object in Tibetan Buddhist religious rites, where it is wielded as a symbolic destroyer of obstacles to enlightenment.

Literature comparison:
Compare a related Tibetan ritual staff with similar stupa finial, dated to the 17th century, in the collection of Tibet House, New York.
