Description

A GROUP OF FOUR WHITE METAL ANKLETS, KARA, 19TH CENTURY
This lot is a museum deaccession and is therefore offered without reserve

India, Rajasthan or Madhya Pradesh. Each pair is formed as a thick hoop terminating in large conical ends, richly embossed with floral and geometric designs. (4)

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, printed ‘Paar Armreifen Indien um 1900 Wei?blech.‘, priced at EUR 225.
Condition: Good condition with minor wear and manufacturing irregularities. A few nicks and dents, and warping. A fine, naturally-grown, smooth patina and areas of malachite encrustation.

Weight: 422 g (total)
Dimensions: Length 8.5-13.3 cm

The kara is a traditional circular ornament, typically made of metal such as silver, brass, or iron, and worn around the wrist or ankle in South Asian cultures. While it is widely recognized as a steel bracelet in Sikhism. In certain regional contexts, particularly in Rajasthan and Central India, the term also refers to anklets: solid, rigid bangles worn around the ankles, often by women in tribal or rural communities.

Literature comparison:
Compare a closely related anklet, or kara, dated to the 19th century, 12.8 cm diameter, in the Cleveland Museum of Art, accession number 1916.191.
