A GILT BRONZE FIGURE OF PADMASAMBHAVA AND HIS EIGHT MANIFESTATIONS, TIBET, CIRCA 16TH-18TH CENTURY
This lot is a museum deaccession and is therefore offered without reserve

Finely cast, seated in dhyanasana atop a lotus supported by a stalk emerging from a lotus base, holding a vajra in his right hand and a vessel in his left. Wearing heavy monastic robes which fall to the base in foliate folds, the face bearing a benevolent expression framed by lobes with pendulous earrings. The central deity surrounded by his eight manifestations in dynamic poses, all framed by two further stalks which emerge from the base and elegantly form an aureole around the group.

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.
