Description

A PARCE-GILT BRONZE FIGURE OF BUDDHA IN PARINIRVANA, RATTANAKOSIN KINGDOM
This lot is a museum deaccession and is therefore offered without reserve

Thailand, 1782-1932. Lying on his right side with his hand supporting his head over a rectangular stepped lotus base, wearing a monastic robe draped over the left shoulder falling in subtly carved folds, the face with aquiline nose, heavy-lidded eyes, and enigmatically smiling lips, flanked by pendulous earlobes, the neatly incised hair tied in a topknot.

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 ‘Liegender Buddha; Bronze verg. Siam um 1850‘ and priced EUR 2,750.
Condition: Very good condition with minor wear, a few small nicks, minor fatigue cracks, slight flaking and rubbing to the gilt, and inherent casting flaws. Good overall patina; some areas of the gilt may have been renewed over time.

Weight: 3.6 kg
Dimensions: Length 30.8 cm

In Buddhism, Parinirvana is commonly used to refer to nirvana-after-death, which occurs upon the death of someone who has attained nirvana during their lifetime. It implies a release from the Sa?sara, karma and rebirth as well as the dissolution of the skandhas. In some Mahayana scriptures, notably the Maha Parinirva?a Sutra, parinirva?a is described as the realm of the eternal true Self of the Buddha.
