Description

A LARGE NEGATIVE RESIST PAINTED POTTERY URN, 11TH–16TH CENTURY
This lot is a museum deaccession and is therefore offered without reserve

Carchi or Narino, Colombia or Ecuador. The urn with a projectile profile, surmounted by a cylindrical neck with everted rim, finely painted in black and red pigments with squares along the lower body and neck, detailed with double lines and circles.

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: Condition commensurate with age. Wear, firing irregularities, signs of weathering, old repairs, touchups, light scratches, and minuscule losses. Expected rubbing and flaking to pigment.

Weight: 11.6 kg
Dimensions: Height 77 cm (excl. stand), 84 cm (incl. stand)

With an associated wood stand. (2)

Negative resist techniques were employed to form the vessel’s geometric patterns. A resin was first applied to the surface, which was then burnished and coated with a contrasting slip. Once the resin was removed, the underlying designs were revealed. The motifs – such as the bird-like footprints around the neck – draw inspiration from nature and woven textiles.

This large vessel functioned as a secondary burial urn. In addition to human remains, it may have held personal items and valuables, such as textiles or objects made of precious metal, intended to accompany the deceased into the afterlife. Secondary burial refers to the custom of reburying a person’s bones after the body has decomposed. Such urns were often placed in shaft tombs or buried beneath mounds or architectural structures.
