Description

A GROUP OF THIRTEEN BONE SPOONS, NEEDLES, AND PINS, 1ST MILLENNIUM AD OR EARLIER
This lot is a museum deaccession and is therefore offered without reserve

Europe or West Asia. Comprising five spoons, four with round bowls (cochlear) and one with a spatula-shaped head; three needles, one with a single perforation and two with triple perforations; and five pins, one with carved bands, one with a round knob, one with a small flat round end, and two with pointed heads. (13)

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.
Condition: Good condition, commensurate with age. Extensive wear, traces of use, signs of weathering and erosion, obvious losses. Each with a fine, naturally grown, dark patina.

Weight: 55 g (total)
Dimensions: Height 5-13.4 cm

Spoon with a round bowl, also known as a cochlear, was used for a variety of purposes, including the consumption of snails, shellfish, and eggs. Needles with triple perforations have been found most commonly at Roman sites of the mid-to-late Imperial period. The exact purpose for which they were used has not been determined.
