Description

A TURKMEN CARNELIAN-INLAID PARCEL-GILT METAL ‘DOUBLE EAGLE’ AMULET PENDANT, DAGDAN, TURKMEN, TEKKE, 19TH-20TH CENTURY
This lot is a museum deaccession and is therefore offered without reserve

Turkmenistan, Teke tribe. Finely modeled in a symmetrical abstract form depicting two stylized addorsed eagles, terminating in elegantly curling scrolls. Polished carnelian cabochons are set in vertical and bilateral alignment across the surface, complemented by two green glass inlays positioned near the lower section.

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 with expected wear, traces of use, manufacturing irregularities, few tiny nicks, small light dents, minor warping, remnants of pigments, inclusions to the stones, and losses to the gilt. A fine, naturally-grown, smooth patina.

Weight: 16.5 kg (total)
Dimensions: Height 14.5 cm

The dagdan is primarily ascribed an amuletic function, intended to protect the wearer from misfortune and illness. Originally crafted from the wood of the dagdan tree, native to the Kopet Dag mountains, these pendants later came to be rendered in metal by Turkmen smiths, especially among the Teke. The dagdan tree, identified as the Caucasian hackberry, is revered as sacred by Turkmen nomads for its resilience and protective qualities. Symbolically, the pendant embodies fertility, strength, and the safeguarding of new life. It was often worn by women and children, or hung on cradles, to ward off the evil eye and ensure well-being. In this context, dagdan is sometimes interpreted as representing the blossoming of new life.

Located between the Caspian Sea and the Amu Darya River, the regions of modern-day Turkmenistan and northern Afghanistan are home to the Turkmen people, a traditionally nomadic Turkic ethnic group. In the 19th and early 20th centuries, Turkmen tribes occupied vast stretches of this arid and semi-arid landscape. despite increasing Russian and Persian influence, the Turkmen kept many of their pre-Islamic customs and beliefs, which were often embodied in the jewelry they made and wore. Crafted primarily from metal and often inlaid with polished carnelian cabochons, these pieces were worn by women as part of both ceremonial and everyday attire. This artistic heritage flourished during the 19th and early 20th centuries, especially in the regions of present-day Turkmenistan and northern Iran.
