Description

A SILVERED BRONZE MODEL OF A BOROBUDUR STUPA, INDONESIA, 19TH CENTURY OR EARLIER
This lot is a museum deaccession and is therefore offered without reserve

The structure consists of a bell-shaped dome resting on a tiered circular base, decorated with a continuous band of stylized lotus petals. The dome is pierced with a series of openwork diamond-shaped motifs, reminiscent of the perforated stupas found at Borobudur, as well as with further incised lotus petals to the top. Above rises a square harmika, culminating in a hexagonal, tapering spire.

Provenance: The Kienzle Family Collection, Stuttgart, Germany. Acquired between 1950 and 1985 by siblings Else (1912-2006), Reinhold (1917-2008), and Dr. Horst Kienzle (1924-2019), during their extensive travels in Asia. Subsequently inherited by Dr. Horst Kienzle and bequeathed to the Museum für Asiatische Kunst, Radevormwald, Germany. Released through museum deaccession in 2024. The Kienzle siblings were avid travelers and passionate collectors of Asian and Islamic art. During their travels, the Kienzle’s sought out and explored temples, monasteries, and markets, always trying to find the best pieces wherever they went, investing large sums of money and forging lasting relationships to ensure they could acquire them. Their fervor and success in this pursuit is not only demonstrated by their collection but further recorded in correspondences between Horst Kienzle and several noted dignitaries, businesses and individuals in Nepal and Ladakh. Their collection had gained renown by the 1970s, but the Kienzle’s stopped acquiring new pieces around 1985. Almost thirty years later, the collection was moved to the Museum für Asiatische Kunst, Radevormwald, opened by Peter Hardt in 2014. Before his death in 2019, Horst Kienzle bequeathed his entire property to Peter Hardt and legally adopted him as his son, who has been using the name Peter Kienzle-Hardt ever since.
Condition: Good condition with old wear and casting irregularities. Few nicks, dents, surface rubbing, light scratches, as well as minor warping. Extensive wear to silvering. The bronze with afine naturally grown, dark patina.

Weight: 1.4 kg
Dimensions: Height 33.5 cm

On the upper terraces of the Borobudur Temple in Central Java, iconic perforated stupas encase meditating Buddha images. Built by the Shailendra dynasty around 825 CE, Borobudur is one of the greatest Buddhist monuments of all time, having one of the largest and most complete ensembles of Buddhist narrative relief panels in the world. Structured as a mandala of stacked platforms representing the three planes of existence in Mahayana cosmology (the world of desire, the world of forms, and the world of formlessness), Borobodur invites pilgrims circumambulating its didactic panels and sculpture to shuck the trappings of their perceived reality and realize their true inherent formlessness. This small, bell-shaped stupa, pierced with diamond-shaped openings and surmounted by a spire, directly reflects the design of the seventy-two lattice stupas that crown Borobudur’s summit.
